> Oh, another lawsuit worth noting; a group of vegetarians sued some fast
food giant (Ronny McD if memory serves) over allegedly sneaking animal fat
into
their deep fat friers (and subsequent fries) despite claims that only
vegetable shortening was used.  Don't know what became of it.  Maybe the
case has yet to get >underway.

From what I understand,  I think it was because mcdon does fry in veg. oil
but may also use some kind of beef flavoring or derivative added to the
fries.
