The beef tallow thing is painfully stupid...

I have started to wonder if the fact that adding it back makes it so vegetarians and vegans can no longer eat french fries (that are made with it) had anything to do with that decision... Or was that just an "unexpected bonus" in their minds?

I still don't understand what that was about, like do fries made in tallow taste better? Or at least noticeably different?

Tallow is saturated, so you can use it longer before it oxidises

Ok but that's an economic argument for the business not an advertisement, like why would I care about this as the consumer of your fries

That might be why they do this, marketing is secondary (and mcd at first didn't market fries as tallow-containing specifically). When done on purpose and currently, i guess it's seed oils thing
