What a brilliant, fantastic, planet saving idea!!!!

Or it would be if diesels weren't designed to run on veg oil in the first place.

How does that stop it being a good planet saving initiative by mcdonalds to do so

Do you actually have your first ever valid point to make on here, or are you just about to spout a massive load of "conspiracy theory" bollocks at us?

It doesn't stop it being a planet saving idea. It could have been done for years and years by now though.

And I have made several valid points... you just haven't read them obviously. One just this weekend gone in fact. Your a fine one to talk anyway.

What conspiracy theory about this?

I beleive the substance he was actually thinking of was peanut oil.

And chip, out of my 1237 odd posts, how many have I actually started about "conspiracies"? Not many I can guarantee you so.....

the fact it could run on chip fat from day one means fuck all if no one is doing it

i fail to see why you're rolling your eyes?

A big corporation like McDonalds doing this could have a positive knock on effect for other large companies to follow suit - i.e. Burger King.

Oh... I thought thats what the gig at Wembley was all about.

There is a reason for the roll eyes, but you'll never get it.

Still in denial about the CIA killing people then. What about drugging kids?
