    1. Thats what you got out of the article? Yet you have no issue with Bill Gates and other billionaires who help fund the Donkey party with huge campaign donations from their liberal ran companies? The hypocrisy is real with a lot of people since Trump WON re-election.

    2. Poor Robert can’t enjoy his french fry without fretting about which side of the political divide his fry may fall on.

    1. Just like the MAGA rejection of vaccines wont thin the herd enough to make a difference, this won’t either.

  1. RFK doesn’t believe in the science.

    While some argue that the saturated fat in beef tallow may not be as detrimental as previously thought, due to its fatty acid composition, excessive consumption can still negatively impact heart health. Canola oil is significantly lower in saturated fat and higher in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (including omega-3s).

    End of story. Period.

  2. Once the servers were replaced with kiosks and favorite menu items were removed, there has simply been no reason for me to go to a slower version of McDonald’s. It seems odd from a PR perspective to now appeal only to just under half the country.

    1. We eventually adjusted to the slower service by placing two separate orders for burgers and fries. That way the burger doesn’t sit and get cold while they are frying the fries. There are too many local places that are doing great smash burgers, so I suspect we’ll never be back now.

    2. That’s insulting. McDonald’s has better burgers than Steak and Shake nowadays.

      Anyone heard anything about Biglari’s plans to put a bar on the top of his building downtown? I was looking forward to ordering drinks off a kiosk menu…

  3. They are teetering on bankruptcy and do not even consider themselves HQ’ed in Indiana anymore…. they moved all executives down to Texas years ago

    1. +1. If you want the closest thing to what steak ‘n Shake used to be, go to Freddy’s. Culver’s also is pretty darn consistent as well.

  4. MAGA reasoning wins over science again.

    BTW, it’s not the oil that the potatoes are fried in that are making Americans fat. It’s the fact that we eat so many french fries to begin with. This way we’ll still be fat, but die more quickly of heart disease.

  5. I mean no one was going to SNS for the fries.

    And if you want to talk about fricking additives, how about that their milkshakes no longer use real ice cream?
