I don't get it. Trans-fats have nothing at all to do with flavor. They
increase shelf life is all. So how would a french fry cooked in something
like natural vegetable or corn oil taste worse than if cooked in some
trans-fat?

I will sample some and report back. I haven't been to a McDs in years so
this should be interesting.
