McDonald’s Vegan Options

McDonalds are axing the only vegan happy meal option, now only McPlant burger will be available. Due to poor sales.

AIBU to think it’s a no brainer that kids don’t want curry vegetable sticks?! My kids HATE them. Did they really think kids would eat them?

There are loads of good vegan options available now, including fantastic veggie nugget options. But instead of trying those, vegetarian and vegan children (or those who need halal or kosher meat etc), now need to order off the main menu and not have a happy meal.

Why, in a world full of vegan options, has McDonalds got this all wrong?

They don’t care about catering for the minority - I have coeliacs and can literally only eat fries and drinks and fruit bags…

That sucks. I’m not very clued up on allergens - what options would you hope McDonalds would stock for you? I’m assuming nothing that looks too much like anything that contains gluten in case of mix ups?

I’m vegan and I voted YABU. McDonald’s is the devil.

Absolutely. Garbage pretending to be food.

McDonalds isn’t for everyone, admittedly. We’re a vegetarian household and it’s a monthly treat for us.
