A pox on McDonalds. Forgive me, but I was desperate for a bite to eat today and I dropped into a McDonalds on my way home. I don’t know when it happened but it seems that their vegetarian Deli Choices roll is now no longer available. Once I established this with the bored drive-thru operator, I just kept on driving. There is now once again nothing on the McDonalds menu for vegetarians – unless you are prepared to suffer the indignity of looking like a wuss and eating a cheesy garden salad while your non-vegetarian friends are tucking into their high calorie, spare-tyre inducing “meals”. I know what you are thinking. It is embarrassing that I was near a McDonalds in the first place. Having just watched the movie Fast Food Nation (the one that McDonalds is trying to out-PR with its series of ads showing gullible young workers being shown on “milk runs” of Australian meat packing plants), I shouldn’t have gone near the place. No bull. If you are wavering as a vegetarian and haven’t seen Fast Food Nation, see it. McDonalds may be able to put a thin gloss on their operations in their 30 second TV spots, but it’s impossible to explain away the fact that McDonalds earns its profits from the mechanised mass slaughter of living creatures. McDonalds: V-Ware. GR

i’m not sure what’s worse: having no option or a pseudo option? burger king might have veggie burgers but i noticed a very tiny disclaimer “may have been cooked in animal fat”. hey, you either cooked it in cow blubber or you didn’t!

Hey, cookies and coke would make a perfectly well-rounded meal.

OMG!! We vegans have to get Aussie burger with no meat, no cheese, add onions and pickles. Then we get fries and tomato sauce to put on it. Salty Fatty yuck (only if desparate!). However their breakfast menu of breads, english muffins and cereals are good and McCafe soy latte’s. Their fries and hash browns aren’t in beef tallow now which is great. Nor Burger King’s. And we can eat the cookies! But we don’t eat here ever pretty much! (only when at airports and desparate) Post a comment
