I've got no words for this one, honestly.


Back in February the fast food chain announced it would start making fries with 100% beef tallow starting on the first of this month, a move endorsed by the Macho Measles Man himself, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.


First, a comment on this: this is arguably the dumbest idea ever, and I'm not just saying that because it's an RFK thing, but because of logic, my mother is a pescetarian, so that should rule out any business she'd make with them, same goes with anybody who is either a vegetarian or a vegan.

It should be worth noting that Friedrich Nietzsche's works have become very closely associated with Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany to the point where scholars debate if Hitler read any of it.
