When I was a kid McDonald's smelled like heaven. It was because they fried their fries in beef tallow.

Then a bunch of people decided beef tallow was bad for you. They demanded McDonald's get rid of the beef tallow. McDonald's still wanted to make fries and people still wanted to eat them. So the food scientists at McDonalds searched and decided 100% vegetable transfats were the ticket.

Smart move there.

Beef tallow - much more good cholesterol than bad. Transfat - liquid heart attack.
