"whereby they were coerced into changing the fat used for their french-fries"

So coerced they never even changed as they promised they would.

They did change. . . they have used for the past three-four years, a a trans-fat reduced formula; whereby they cut their use of trans fats almost by half. I remember the law suit by vegetarian/sikhs/hindus(?) all or some/whatever. . .and do not know if that was because this was not an over-night effort but one that took time to actually implement in all restaurants; and before ever going to other world markets.

( Or did they drop some fallow in there for flavoring. . .do not remember details; save McDonalds 'gifted' a number of vegetarian religious organizations for their 'mistake'. as they lost the lawsuit or maybe they mediated. . . )
