The following 'McDonalds' website confirms that their french fries are
fried in beef fat (yes, their fries which they claim, only have
potatoes and vegetable oil)

Please look at page 12 for their ingredients list....

This is very well known fact. May be you did not know about it ...

McDonald even have faced Lawsuit earlier in, I think, 2000/2001. Fries are clean in India.

And the information is on their official website - so you can;t say that they claim its only Potatoes & Veg Oil.

Oh.. I did not know that before.
There may be a number of newcomers not knowing this fact. I didn't even bother to visit McDonald for FF as I enjoyed those roadside eateries

Thanks for correcting me.

Animal fat is used in North America for frying preety much anything in restaurants so technically nothing is pure vegetarian when you eat outside your home.

You can find some Indian Vegetarian restaurants in MTV (Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver)

There are a lot of gora Vegans due to health benefits Vegan diet (which is a subset of Vegetarian diet) offers and you'll find a lot of Vegan foods in Health food stores across North America

Pizza Hut serves Veggi Pizza, are they also using Animal fat?
Any idea? I know they bake and not fry it, still would like some reviews?
