    ROFLOL, You are too much! And decades late to the party.

    "McDonald's French Fries Are Still Not Vegetarian
    Why McDonald's fries are meat-free in India but not in the U.S."

    "For decades, McDonald’s fries were cooked in animal fat (lard) which was supposedly what gave them their famous flavor. Eventually, the chain switched to vegetable oil, but customers complained that the fries were no longer as tasty. The company's
    solution was to add natural beef flavor to the spuds during the production cycle.

    What's Your Beef? A Class-Action Lawsuit
    In 2001, McDonald’s was hit with a class-action lawsuit, led by a group of Hindu customers who felt they were being duped into unwittingly consuming animal products—which is strictly against their religion.3 Other vegetarians and vegans joined the
    fight, pointing out that the company was disseminating misleading information.

    Customers were being told that the French fries were fried in vegetable oil—the inference being that the fries were no longer cooked in lard and were therefore veg-friendly. Admitting that the fries were coated in beef flavoring, McDonald's settled for
    $10 million, with $6 million going to vegetarian organizations.

    But they didn’t change their recipe. In fact, their website still lists the ingredients, including beef, for all to see.4

    As a company spokesperson explained: “With regard to our French fries, any customer in the U.S. who contacts McDonald's USA to ask if they contain beef flavoring is told, 'Yes.'" The same McDonald's representative went on to say, "We have no plans to
    change the way we prepare our French fries in the U.S. However, it is important to know that our French fries are prepared differently in other countries.”"

    This is another "secret" that's only a secret on Fakes News.

    “Late to the party”? How original. Now where have I heard that before? Did you not read the subject line? It’s funny you humorless, liberal loon.

    A liberal doesn’t beome wiser with age. A moron doesn’t become wiser as he grows old; he becomes an old moron.
