A McDonald’s order of fries is not vegan. They use beef fat in the slurry that becomes their fries. source

Oh fantastic. Totally unnecessary. Like Here’s a perfectly fine piece of starch! Even a vegan would buy it! But hold on, let me smear some dead animal juice on it!
Oh just perfect. WTF!!!

I’m not vegan but I agree what the absolute fuck. It’s like when I learned many jams weren’t vegan. It’s strawberry my guy. I’ve made strawberry jam and I never needed to add in cow.
So much random stuff just adds meat and meat by product and I’m just here thinking “why”? Is it just that cow bone and tendons are usually waste product and thus cheap? Massive subsidies extending all the way down?
No culture in history has eaten as much meat as we do. It’s not usually a daily thing let alone something that’s just kinda also in everything.
They be putting fish juice in our beer to make it clear and bones in our sugar to make it whiter.

You could argue both ways.
On the one hand, it is of course a very good thing to use all parts of the animal you killed to the largest possible extent.
I mean, imagine killing an animal for food and then even only using the tastiest bits and throwing away the rest?
On the other hand, of course, having a market for these “waste products” potentially acts as a subsidy for the meat itself, encouraging its consumption.
