Yall bashing this, have you tried the vegan KFC burger

Mcdonalds said earlier they weren't going to do the beyond meat. Why the changes?

Fucking brilliant marketing team at the murder factory

$BYND

hope they make a plantbased cheese for vegans ! Also, it would help if mcdonalds uses a separate grill, I dont think burgerking offers that option

Who approved the appetizing name? You’re fired! McPlant mcdonalds beyondmeat

PattyArquette This information was released after the election so Donald Trump couldn't take the credit

PattyArquette mcDonalds should should offer Psychic Teaz, for proactive health defense.Not the sugar water crack cola!

PattyArquette Does nothing for the growing number of gluten sensitive folks like myself. Most of the veggie patties contain a lot of wheat, in addition to the buns.

PattyArquette The McPlant? Really? That's the best they could do? Sounds appetizing.

Gross

Read as an advertisement. ie Void of facts. Here's *why* it is called McPlant:

Not interested/ as long as they engage in mass murder of animals will boycott them.

I think they pulled out all the stops and spared no expenses on the naming

McVeg would have been a better name ...just sayin McDonalds

Great idea! The meat alternative burgers they've been coming out with lately have been awesome! I love that one from Burger King.

Lol mcplant, how genius😂

This does not sound like real food.

STOP MAKING VEGGIES TO BE MEAT. Just eat your veggies properly, people. Look at South Asian, Southeast Asian, and East Asian recipes. Coconut milk, tofu, tempe, soysauce(both salty n sweet soy sauce) are the key. And if u don't mind of seafood, they also use oyster sauce.

I wonder how much more processed that will be in comparison to normal McDonald’s

lythainesy

ya’ll tried so hard not to cater to vegetarians and vegans and NOW you’re catching on? It’s too late babe, we already found our favs

You get rid of the McRib and this is the crap you come up with? I’ll throw it on the mcground

Woo Hoo 2021 you look awesome!!!

It’s not like anything on there menu is actually real meat.

These guys do know they don't have to Mc in front of everything they name, right?

won't try it...it will still be cooked with dead cows and chickens

I'll stick with the McMeat.

Hello, could you take a look at my work?

I woulda just been happy they would bring back the salads v.v at my store due to limited menu.... and lort

holy fuck couldnt they come up with a better name other than fucking mcplant

Took them long enough.

although that marketing team should all be replaced, it’s about time McDonalds

I’m listening

captainChillMan wild

We’ve always known McDonald’s uses fake beef, now they’re bragging about it

Now if McDonalds can just get us some vegetarian french fries on top!

McYucky.

That was my nickname when I was undercover for the CIA.

_rastrae !!!!!!

Only for it to be cooked on the same griddle as the actual meat....

Semen burger

I hope they serve this with something other than their french fries which are fried in Beef Fat here in the states.

First let's try to figure out what was in the McRib

🤢

All the fools bashing MCD failing to recognize it is still the biggest most successful restaurant chain regardless your opinion MCD isn't trying to be the best tasting, just need to hit a sweet spot between cost and taste for $. Their food scientist are among the absolute best

Oh really? You're making a veggie burger but can't make vegetarian fries? Why the fuck would I trust you?

Food is no longer grown it’s “crafted”

ALionEagle

Soil mc Green

Named after Gord McPlant who won the Hart Trophy many times

KeiaraMichele

Soylent green is people.

It’s not like that pink slime they’re currently serving is real “chicken” anyways...

billburr will laugh his ass off on this idea.

They’re really launching a product called McPlant. 😂😂😂 Horrible name but if it gets people eating less meat, cool.

This is just too much...

When foood products becomes largescale, somehow it frightens me. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤞🏻✌🏼

And it’s gonna plant itself on the side of being a bad idea.

angelinapolska

Wow that’s a change, hoping for the better💙

jjustcallmegio

Soylent Green?

KekePalmer

Nos van a querer vender mierda para comer un dia. Joder.

They still haven't revealed what industrial byproduct is in their McNuggets.

Vegans should just eat filet o fish
