McDonald's is finally paying up for falsely advertising its french fries as vegetarian. The money is being distributed to a variety of religious and vegetarian groups and ... Tuft's University!? Whatever. Surely a more appropriate resolution to the dispute would be an undertaking by McDonald's to close down all stores internationally and distribute all funds raised to supporting factory farmed chickens in their retirement.

As part of the settlement, McDonald's said in an official apology: 'McDonald's sincerely apologizes to Hindus, vegetarians and others for failing to provide the kind of information they needed to make informed dietary decisions at our U.S. restaurants.

'We acknowledge that, upon our switch to vegetable oil in the early 1990's for the purpose of reducing cholesterol, mistakes were made in communicating to the public and customers about the ingredients in our French fries and hash browns. Those mistakes included instances in which French fries and hash browns sold at U.S. restaurants were improperly identified as 'vegetarian.'
