Hahaa is McDonald’s our main source of meat? How about we all realise McDonald’s is trash and invest in farming at its source.

Why!? McDonald's doesnt use real meat anyway

The last time this happened to McDonalds was during Nixon’s wage and price controls. Beef became so rare, they bought their own herds of cattle. Another republican Roger Stone president. 🤔
