Blaze: It seems that consumers may have lost their appetite for the plant-based meat substitute company Beyond Meat. Its recent trial with McDonald’s has McFlopped, and future stock projections may leave investors feeling queasy.
Beyond Meat, which went public in 2019, has had yet another high-profile partnership yield disappointing results. The company signed a three-year global distribution agreement with fast-food giant McDonald’s back in 2021. McDonald’s then quickly added the “McPlant burger,” with a Beyond Meat vegan patty as its base ingredient, to its menu.
But customers didn’t bite, and many now project that most McDonald’s restaurants will soon stop offering it. According to JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst Ken Goldman, who spoke with employees at 25 different McDonald’s locations, most stores cite poor sales as the reason for discontinuing the McPlant. more
Well then…onward to crunchy cicadas and locusts.
Who wouldn’t love a plate full of that?

I think I’d rather have a skunk cabbage salad.
A crispy grasshopper taco.. Mmm Mmm Mmm
When anyone tries to shove something down my throat I tell them to shove it up their ass. Case closed. Besides, Bill Gates is involved. Who the hell trusts Bill Gates anymore?
McPlant. What marketing genius came up with that one?
McStupid! To quote Clara Pella Where’s the Beef?
Attempt by Cracker Barrel also causing problems.

I despise that fake meat crap taking up meat areas at Publix too.
Do people go to McDonalds for healthy food? WTF are these brainiacs thinking?
Saxindacity,
Well at least when the swarms of locust come, we won’t go hungry
As it is, a Micky D burger is already about as far from real beef as it can get.
If I wanted a plant burger, I’d go outside and graze, but it’s not in my nature.
I thought when you put a bunch of veggies together it was called a salad, not a Mcplant burger.
In their defense, they have it all over the future insect based food company on the horizon, Bug-er King (double entendre intended).
How is Booger King doing with Al Gore’s “Impossible Burger” option? I hope he lost his ass.
@mickey That’s why I steer mainly to their pork. McMuffin based.
Ha! When we had the shutdowns and people were panick buying, that was the only crap in the meat department that was untouched.
This was a dumb as offering real meat at vegan restaurants. You have to wonder WTF were they thinking.
Wrong approach.
Now, make me a meat salad and I’ll bite.

I haven’t trusted Gates since DOS 6.0
@Tim-FJB And that’s just msNBC.
I went pescatarian a few years back for health reasons with an occasional cheat on meat. I think the Impossible Burger is pretty good as prepared at BK. Beyond Burger only works for me if doused in worchester and soy sauce. Pretty decent in cream of mushroom. Much healthier than a steady diet of beef. I’ve lost 35 lbs and feel great. Sometimes now real meat is weird tasting.

They should have consulted me before they came out with that fake crap stuff. It’s the same as displaying a tranny on the cover of Playboy Magazine. How do morons stay in business? They’ll go broke watch and see.
These supposed “healthier plant based” foods actually have as many, if not more, calories than real meat. Plus, the sodium levels are in the stratosphere, usually twice the amount. I think that I will stick with the real thing, thank you.
If going vegan is such a superior lifestyle, then why do these vegan-ites feel the need to chop, process, add chemicals, cook, heat, and distort beyond all analysis the plants they want the rest of us to eat?
My meat eats vegetables and grains so I don’t have to.
First time I’ve seen the addition of the cat in the little girl thumbnail…… made me laugh out loud.
