It wasn't a matter of reading the ingredients. I used to be a vegetarian, and got sick every time I ate fries at McD's (which was rarely - but I had friends that liked to go, so occasionally I went). The only other food avail was a shake or cookies. They showed me ingredients lists for these three foods and it never stated meat. After learning that they used beef, it made sense why I got sick.
I still do not eat at McD's - its been probably 20 years since I last tried to. As far as the $10M award going to 'groups' that's totally ridiculous. Individuals were sickened or offended - not groups! We need to stop these silly class action lawsuits!!!

"Natural flavoring" is a broad category. There is no claim that McDonald's violated fedeeral food labeling laws or made any false claims.
It seems to me that vegetarians need to petition the FDA or USDA to make sure animal products are labeled as such, or to set up their own standards for labeling food, like the kosher marks.
