This first article describes the rollout of McDonald's fake meat in McDonald’s United Kingdom The second article breaks down the McDonald’s menu for a potential vegan customer. It’s hard to read the vegan article without thinking “these people are crazy”.

Crazy is a harsh word but they certainly are fanatics.

* Exercise fanatics have an ever-shrinking social circle. * 

* Covid-19 fanatics drive around in their cars - alone - wearing a mask.

* Religious fanatics have a hard time finding a place to worship.

* Vegan fanatics have a hard time dining outside their homes.

It's impossible to make these people happy. Your staff should focus on selling real food instead of being distracted by fussy, whinny vegans.

If McDonald's management and directors think McDonald's should be in the vegan business they should use some of their cash to buy one of the already successful vegan restaurant chins.

What's that? There are no successful vegan chains? Never mind.

Still Standing

 

 

Thanks to our website regulars who checked in about my absence. We traveled to what was supposed to be a small family reunion but apparently, everyone was anxious to get out of the house for some human contact it turned into a well-attended midwestern hoe-down. That meant traveling around the great plains catching up with long-lost relatives. And, like many people, I stuff a laptop in my luggage thinking I'll have time to do some work on the trip - not this time.

 

But nothing ever happens in late August. The most exciting thing I've seen is that McDonald's had to stop selling milkshakes in the U.K. Going forward I think I'll take a break from posting in the last half of August and yjr last yeo errkd of December. But, If I do so I'll post a notice that we're going dark for a while.

 

Have a great Labor Day weekend!
