A friend of mine used to be an operations manager for a franchise running
6 or 8 McDonalds outlets.  Several years ago he volunteered the statement
that McFries are cooked in a mixture of sugar and (ready?) beef fat.  In
defense of McD's he added that this formula was adopted only after test
marketing showed it to be preferred by the majority of McDonalds' target
market.

He also said that, for the same reason, McDonald's hamburger buns contain
about 30% (if my memory serves me) sugar.
