On the important French Fry Question

[John Thornton]

A vegan friend of mine says McD's sprays a thin coating of tallow on their
potatoes to give them that flavour. That way they still end up frying in
animal fat. He claims he can't eat them because of this. I don't know if
this is true. On another note, what the hell are you people doing
patronizing McD's? I suppose you shop at WalMart too?
