McDonald's cooking fries in trans-fat-free oil

By DAVE CARPENTER, AP Business Writer1 hour, 58 minutes ago

McDonald's french fries are now trans-fat-free in all its restaurants in the United States and Canada, the fast-food restaurant chain said Thursday.
McDonald's has lagged other restaurant operators in switching over to a zero-trans-fat cooking oil out of worries it would compromise the taste of its trademark fries. It has been under increasing pressure from consumer advocates and some public officials to make the change.

Dang, reminds me of the animal oil industry they killed.

Old Country Buffet has also gone transfat-free. I was there with a friend yesterday who treated me for my birthday and saw the notice there.

Boston has set forth a ban on ALL of its restaurants using transfats.
