Burger Chain Announces States Where Fries Have Been 'RFK'd'
Steak 'n Shake has announced that all its branches in five states are now using beef tallow to cook their fries, a move that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pushed for.
The burger chain announced on Monday that "100% beef tallow" fries are now available in Ohio, Colorado, Florida, Texas and Oklahoma.
Steak 'n Shake added: "By the end of February 2025, all locations will use 100% all-natural beef tallow. If veg oil broke your heart, our tallow will make you fall in love again." It confirmed this week that the deadline had been updated to Saturday, March 1.
It comes after RFK Jr. has been fiercely critical of seed oils in recent months. On October 21, he posted on X that Americans are "being unknowingly poisoned by heavily subsidized seed oils." He added: "It's time to Make Frying Oil Tallow Again."
Meanwhile, he also posted a video on Thanksgiving of himself deep-frying a turkey in beef tallow.
"This is how we cook the MAHA way," Kennedy said in the video, referencing his "Make America Healthy Again" slogan.

I thought it was for health reasons, to cut down on the saturated fat. At least for McDonald's.

Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday praised a company that makes $7-a-pop meals that are delivered directly to the homes of Medicaid and Medicare enrollees.
He even thanked Mom’s Meals for sending taxpayer-funded meals “without additives” to the homes of sick or elderly Americans. The spreads include chicken bacon ranch pasta for dinner and French toast sticks with fruit or ham patties.
“This is really one of the solutions for making our country healthy again,” Kennedy said in the video, posted to his official health secretary account, after he toured the company’s Oklahoma facility last week.
But an Associated Press review of Mom’s Meals menu, including the ingredients and nutrition labels, shows that the company’s offerings are the type of heat-and-eat, ultraprocessed foods that Kennedy routinely criticizes for making people sick.
The meals contain chemical additives that would render them impossible to recreate at home in your kitchen, said Marion Nestle, a nutritionist at New York University and food policy expert, who reviewed the menu for The AP. Many menu items are high in sodium, and some are high in sugar or saturated fats, she said.
