Earlier on Thursday, the official Steak ‘n Shake account on X posted: “Steak n Shake will use 100% beef tallow. No limit.” “No limit” is a slang term that means “no lies” or “truth.”

“Did you know that McDonald’s used to use beef tallow to make its French fries from the 1940s until it phased it out in favor of seed oils in 1990? This change was made because saturated animal fats were thought to be unhealthy, but since then “We have discovered that animal fats and oils are one of the leading causes of the obesity epidemic,” Kennedy wrote in an Oct. 21 post.

Obesity rates, he said, “started rising dramatically around the same time fast-food restaurants switched from beef tallow to seed oils in their fryers.”
“People who enjoy a burger and fries on a night out are not to blame, and Americans should have every right to eat in a restaurant without being unknowingly poisoned by heavily subsidized seed oils,” Kennedy said, and added: “It’s time to make suet again with frying oil.”
