McDonalds Dumps Trial of Plant ‘Meat’ After Very Low Sales
McDonalds has announced they are dropping their program testing plant-based meats because people didn’t like it.
As noted by the Washington Times:
“…other trials at Panda Express and Yum! Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut) have also ended without a subsequent product launch.
Beyond Meat products at Dunkin’, Hardee’s, and A&W have been discontinued after launching.”
Apparently, American consumers do not want to eat fake meat; at least not fake meat made from plants.
Next up…. Bug meat.
The Yum Bug sales blurb reads:
”The menus will feature items such as cricket tacos or a Thai larb salad and recipes that use an innovative cricket meat-alternative which packs about 30 per cent protein – and requires around 1800x less Greenhouse gas to produce than beef.”

For millenia humans have found out all animal and plant life that is edible, and if other foods are available, insects were the last thing on the menu, now we are being dictated to that insects will soon be the only thing left on the menu to eat with your plants.

W8r w8r thersa flynmasoop. jokes years ago … not so funny now, eh? but count me out – I graze tree n bush fruit when in season a tharvest time… may be the odd insect in it , so? and we do eat Ginger-bread me and terrify our youngest children by pulling the limbs off such confectionary. and it’ll be OK on the day to make baby animal and insect to chews. Just a small step to the real thing like Jungle-fare after all, n’est pas ? but not for me.

What is the difference between the long stated WORMBURGER and this Plant burger at Mc Donalds?
I prefer real Meat, the Truth and the American way!

He he, I prefer fatheaded since the brain is around 60% fat which plant burgers doesn’t support while Meat especially fish have the needed fatty acids for brain health.
