Wait a minute.  Didn't *some* people get all upset eons ago because 
McDonald's had been cooking their fries in beef tallow?  Those people 
claimed it was unhealthful.  Then some McD's fans said the fries didn't 
taste nearly as good after they switched to a vegetable oil for frying. 
  Darn, now I'm all confused. ;)
