Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I still don't understand what that was about, like do fries made in tallow taste better? Or at least noticeably different?

Tallow is saturated, so you can use it longer before it oxidises

Ok but that's an economic argument for the business not an advertisement, like why would I care about this as the consumer of your fries

That might be why they do this, marketing is secondary (and mcd at first didn't market fries as tallow-containing specifically). When done on purpose and currently, i guess it's seed oils thing
