The reason McDonald’s fries were healthier…

[vchild]

Those fries back then were pure heaven

Because of that dude’s own negligence to his health, he helped cause the death of millions of others by advocating for that change of cooking oil…

Dude got a heart attack and blamed fast food instead of his own decisions. I hate people who can’t take responsibility for their actions.

In those days, McDonalds fries were delicious.

[paulatudor]

They paid a doctor (actually the American heart institute) to say that cause vegetable oil was cheaper and didn’t need changing often.

McDonald's fries 🍟 were the truth back in the 80s

Interesting on how the restaurant industry is swayed by those with big bucks. Thank you Dr Paul for this discussion.

[Zaxby]

If you grew up with the old McDonald's fries you know exactly how delicious they were.

[klepp]

I think the real reason is seed oils are cheaper!

Just fyi, mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

[GreatestAverageMan]

I use tallow. It makes everything taste so much better.

[bretbackster]

I think beef tallow being 5x more expensive then seed oils is why McDonald’s switched lmao

[ashypharaoh]

FYI Buffalo Wild Wings use tallow in their fryers. Tastes just like McDonald's used to

EDIT: One commenter who used to work at BWW states they used a tallow/vegetable oil blend. Other employees report 100% beef tallow. Confirm with the *specific restaurant* whether they use pure tallow or not

At least Hindu’s and Muslins can eat the fries without fear of breaking their religious observance

[dolamyte]

Pretty sure they also faced lawsuits because they weren’t listing the tallow properly and people with religious limitations were unknowingly consuming food that was prohibited for them. I miss those fries…

[malikinvictus]

They couldn't care less if you lived or died as long as they got their profits.

[steveclark]

I so badly miss getting super-size fries so much they tasted so good!!!

[stephaniegillaspie]

I still fry my chicken and beef tallow it is absolutely the best for chicken fried chicken and my cholesterol is just fine I just had it checked

[rogreen]

Healthy humans don't bring money we need sick people.

[deborahasher]

I loved old school McDonald's fries. They were the best.
