Cari- I suspect more are coming, and probably relatively soon. RFK Jr. was talking about the problems with seed oils on Fox News and other big outlets last year, and Steak N Shake just committed to being all tallow by the end of February of this year. I think Buffalo Wild Wings has been quietly using tallow or beef fat for years (if you look at their fries and chips that they make in house, they have a bit of cholesterol listed, along with a close to 50% ratio of sat fat). Now that the Secretary of HHS Nominee is on record as saying that high PUFA seed oils are obesogenic and Tallow is better, you will likely have many other restaurants and foodmakers following suit.
I remember back in 2001-2002 when working in radio, that ad based entertainment was taking a financial hit. I remember hearing the story that NBC would start accepting hard alcohol advertising (there was no law banning it, but major broadcasters didn’t accept it, a reaction to the banning of tobacco advertising). Just weeks later, I started seeing all sorts of hard alcohol ads on the station I worked for, as well as other outlets. It just took one major network to make that announcement for pretty much all other broadcasters to follow suit.
I think something similar is about to happen here. The announcements might be a littler slower, since it involves changing physical ingredients, but I strongly suspect a tallow wave (along with other more saturated fats) over the next few years.
