McDonald's to Release Its Own Meatless Patty

The McPlant is coming to select US cities in 2021

https://www.newser.com/story/298567/...ss_world_login

McDonald's has announced plans to sell its own plant-based burger patty in the US in 2021. The McPlant is made "by McDonald's and for McDonald's," International President Ian Borden said during a conference call on Monday, per CBS News. Shares of Beyond Meat, a company that supplies plant-based burgers to several fast-food chains, fell almost 10% following the announcement. However, a Beyond Meat spokesperson later clarified that the company worked with McDonald's to "co-create" the patty, per Reuters. McDonald's had previously tested a Beyond Meat patty at locations in Ontario, Canada, from September to April, per CNBC, which notes former McDonald's CEO Don Thompson is a member of Beyond Meat's board.

Officials say the patty is a step above other plant-based burgers on the market. It "delivers our iconic taste in a sink-your-teeth-in kind of sandwich," reads a blog post. It notes the patty has a similar taste to the Big Mac or Quarter Pounder, per CBS. McDonald's—"one of the few national chains yet to sell plant-based meat burgers on a permanent basis" in the US—hasn't said when or where the patty will first be introduced, per Reuters. "In the future, McPlant could extend across a line of plant-based products including burgers, chicken-substitutes and breakfast sandwiches," Borden said. McDonald's also announced plans to release a new crispy chicken sandwich, to be served on a potato roll, "arriving 2021 in restaurants across the country." (Read more McDonald's stories.)

I might give one of those meatless hamburgers a test some time. I seriously doubt that it will be the same contrary to the bullshit they preach!

Same deal with instant coffee, lite beer or diet drinks they just do not make the grade.

If I do taste the meatless I also want a meat burger to do a comparison to.


meatless hamburgers===oxymoron for sure!

If "God" didn't want us to eat meat, "He" wouldn't have made it delicious!
