Burger chain says its 'fries will be RFK'd' as it joins 'Make America Healthy Again' effort
Some Florida Steak 'n Shake locations were the first to start cooking their french fries in beef tallow. Now, all locations do.
(Was unsure to put this under food and cooking, but I consider this US News/Political, sooo)
With a new spin on cooking french fries, Steak 'n Shake is joining the campaign "Make America Healthy Again," made popular by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The company recently made a change and now is cooking shoestring fries in beef tallow instead of vegetable oil. Some Florida locations were the first to start cooking their french fries in beef tallow at the end of January.
But on March 1, the company posted on the social media platform X that all locations nationwide now serve fries cooked in "100% beef tallow... No preservatives, chemicals or additives.">

McDonald’s stopped using beef tallow in their cooking oil in 1990. This decision was primarily driven by health concerns related to the saturated fat content found in beef tallow.
It's bad when McDonald's makes changes based on health concerns that another business does not.
