      I mean, you could be boycotting only American-owned locations, or not paying attention to ownership at all, as much as location of production.

      This post is more to engage the community on the evolving culture around fast food. Go to odd burger for vegan meals instead it’s Canadian.

    I don’t give a damn about McDonald’s but I would give this a try just out of curiosity. I have been vegetarian for 15 years and it is comforting knowing that you have at least something to eat no matter where you go.

    Yes it is processed crap, but I eat processed crap to simulate meat anyways.

    it’s all highly processed crap. Less fecal material than the meat, but still unhealthy.

    Last time I ate Mcdicks is in 2016 and only because it was the only place I could get something to eat in the town I was on a job for the weekend. It was disgusting.

    The time before that was in 2004, again in desperation after a night shift and it was the only 24 hour place in a different town.

    Fuck 'em.

      Some gas stations have premade sandwiches and the like. Still probably processed crap but anything is better than McDonald’s

        For buying food at one of my last jobs, I had a choice between fast food and the save-on-foods food bar. Once I started getting sandwiches for less money that were healthier, more filling, tasted better, and were CHEAPER from save-on-foods there was no going back for me.

        Yeah, that wasn’t the case. And I will eat a gas station tuna sandwich before mcdicks.

      1998…I was driving for 8 hours, absolutely starved. Pulled into a McDonalds in Virginia and saw a >300lb woman eating while seated on two chairs and lost my appetite.

    “it’s a celebration of bold flavor”

    I’m guessing they chose to celebrate rather than including it.
