Good. It might provide an opportunity for people to try some real food , bypassing this putrid, poisonous rubbish .

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.

YUM Brands say they are OK. It seems panic varies.

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. 🤔

GOOD TIME TO buy here for this company Mcdonald's i believe higher prices in stock is coming.

Employees at McDonalds talk a lot when handling food. Spit accidentally spurting from the mouth of one employee when talking to someone made me think if it was really worth the risk

Trump will bail them out

Trump must have cut back on his Big Macs.

How many attempted downgrades before an upgrade do you have planned?

Bullish

As expected. No surprise here.
