    Mcdonald's purchases more beef than anyone else in the world. I'm sure the other chains aren't far behind.

    Get them out of the meat business and I'll bet we can switch back to more sustainable meat production.

    Interesting that they're going in on having their own proprietary burger as opposed to BK's choice to use someone else's formulation. I wonder how it'll be?

      McDonald's is so large that I imagine it's more cost-effective for them to roll their own plant-based burger compared to going through an intermediary. I feel like it's damn time for them to offer some plant-based options, but at the same time... other chains have picked up the slack on that front and I don't feel wanting for more options, really. Though more options are appreciated, of course.
