FfFfFfFF 58,083 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 International chain McDonald’s is looking to become a market leader in vegan fast food at its United Kingdom and Ireland stores by 2025. The goal is part of its mission to become a net-zero business in the region by 2040 and globally by 2050. “We are at a moment now where we need to accelerate our ambition and work even harder to look after each other and the planet”, McDonald’s UK & I Chief Executive Paul Pomroy said in a statement Earlier this year, McDonald’s announced that it had entered a three-year partnership with Beyond Meat. While the first vegan McPlant burger made landfall abroad, the McPlant platform is designed to be flexible to global demographics and could eventually lead to a US launch—where vegan menu options are scarce. McDonald’s UK & I has already made other changes to improve its sustainability metrics, including using only renewable electricity in its restaurants and turning cooking oil into fuel for its delivery trucks.

Dojo 19,823 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 vegan fast food sounds like a dream as long as it's tasty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,080 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Vegans don't like funding those types of businesses though. But it's a step in the right direction and hopefully could convert people if they have options and also because plant based food is supposed to be more environmentally friendly so anybody who cares about that will now have a better option.

Mindblown 6,744 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I keep seeing the McPlant here in the UK and wanting to try it, but it scares me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helxig 45,335 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Omg this is amazing news regarding the sustainability aspect! Huge actually, considering how massive their reach is and how much waste they produce! But the main takeaway for me is... VEGETARIAN BURGERS OMG I haven't eaten Mc Donalds in 11 years since I went vegetarian because all they have for me is fries, not even one vege burger. Even KFC has a vege burger for gods sake! The chicken place! This will be a game changer I've been a huge fan of Burger King the past couple years since they brought in their rebel patties which are beef and chicken alternatives and actually taste really good. Mc D's needs to hurry up and get with the times! I miss eating fast food with friends I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celloo Deng 56,314 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I tried the McPlant last week, it was SO GOOD. Definitely my new go to meal. I'd love to see them do a plant alternative to chicken nuggets. she/her 🖤 Gaga, Billie, MJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KURUSHITOVSKA 20,451 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 But Burger King is the only one offering a vegan option right? At least in Spain ¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if you live in the US but I’m pretty sure the fries are cooked with beef flavoring here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in Spain In the UK, McDonald's and KFC both have a vegan burger now. Burger King has a vegan chicken burger but the Impossible Whopper is cooked on the same grill as the regular burgers. she/her 🖤 Gaga, Billie, MJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Great to see big corporations take this stuff seriously. Personally I like the taste of plant based burgers more than meat so I'd love to try more vegan fast food options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
