MORE CHAINS COOKING WITH VEGETABLE OIL

The nation's top four hamburger chains agree: french fry lovers need an oil change.

McDonald's Corp. and Wendy's International announced Monday they are switching to cholesterol-free, all-vegetable oil to cook their fries.

Hardee's made the change two years ago and Burger King said last week it will no longer use beef tallow, the industry's previous standard oil for french fry vats.
