Beef tallow, used primarily for cooking but also in products like soap
and biodiesel, has been championed by a subset of online wellness
influencers. Its nutritional merits compared to seed oils, however, have
been disputed.

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. ;)

Obviously, McDonald's can't use animal fat for their fries because
vegans won't be buying them. McDonald's can just forget about people
that claim that the fries don't taste as good. These people will
continue to buy the fries and everything else from the big M no matter
what.
