McDonald’s Admits Customers Reject Fake Meat Burgers

Americans are rejecting a plant-based future full of disgusting and possibly even toxic fake burgers and sausages. Folks simply want organic grass-fed beef (like how some small farmers and the Amish do) and are quickly realizing to stay as far away as possible from factory-farmed-vaccinated cows.

The latest sign that the tide is shifting against billionaires like Bill Gates, who advocate for a reset of the food supply chain by ushering in ‘sustainable’ insect burgers and plant-based meat and also push to ban cow farts, comes from McDonald’s US President Joe Erlinger.

At the WSJ Global Food Forum in Chicago on Wednesday, Erlinger admitted the fast-food chain’s plant-based burger tests across San Francisco and Dallas markets ended in a major failure.

At the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, he said McDonald’s customers aren’t looking for “McPlant or other plant-based proteins from McDonald’s.”

Beyond Meat, which partnered with McDonald’s to sell fake patties, saw its shares drop as much as 5% after the comments hit Bloomberg Terminal. The stock is trading near a record low on dismal fake meat demand.

Just weeks ago, new research was published in The Lancet from the University of São Paulo and Imperial College London that showed ultra-processed vegan food can increase the risk of heart disease and early death.
