This was one of the few valid lawsuits I feel McDonald's deserved to get reemed with.
When I worked at McD's back in college, we used to scoop lard from a bucket with our bare hands and dump it in the deep fryer, but I thought they changed to pure vegetable oil a long time ago. Details anyone?
As a former veggie myself, I say it is up to the consumer to check the contents of the food he eats. But if McD falsely claimed to market animal-free french fries, while still using lard, shame on them!
