Cooking with seed oils has been linked to negative health outcomes, likely due to their ability to cause free radical damage through their.  oxidation. On the other hand, beef tallow, which McDonald's once used to fry their French fries, is a healthier option as this type of fat remains stable at high temperatures.

As passionate proponents of healthy eating, we understand the consequences of such minute ingredient changes. Our personal health journey has made us strongly aware of the substantial impact cooking mediums can have on our well-being. And we’re not alone.

By bringing back beef tallow, McDonald's can enhance the nutritional profile of one of their most popular offerings - the iconic French fries. According to a BMJ study in 2018, consuming foods fried in vegetable oil can lead to severe diseases including heart disease and type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, beef tallow is high in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which, according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, helps in reducing body fat mass.

McDonald's has long been a part of our lives and its responsibility towards public health is vital. This change will also uphold McDonald’s obligations as a prominent food provider across the globe.

Join us in urging McDonald's to replace seed oils with healthier beef tallow in their French fry cooking process. For the health of all McDonald's consumers, we want to make America healthy again. Sign this petition to make your voice heard.
