Meat? Chicken? That is all so 2018…

Burgers without beef, chicken nuggets made from chickpeas, that’s where the world is now. So catch up.

Back in April, Burger King forayed into flora by creating a burger in conjunction with Impossible Foods that included a plant-based patty.

Even more recently, Kentucky Fried Chicken decided to introduce a vegan option for a day. Using a plant-based substance from Beyond Meat, the “chicken” was available in the form of nuggets and wings.

The P.L.T. will be tested for 12 weeks in 28 McDonald’s restaurants in Southwestern Ontario, Canada starting Monday, 9/30. __________________ “Being of service to McDonald’s has been a central and defining goal of mine since founding Beyond Meat over a decade ago,” said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO, Beyond Meat. “It comes after a long and productive collaboration to make a delicious plant-based patty that fits seamlessly into McDonald's menu, and we’re thrilled with the outcome." __________________ Click link in bio to learn more about this exciting announcement and to find the full list of participating restaurants!

Now McDonald’s has jumped on the meatless bandwagon by adding the P.L.T. to its menu — short for Plant. Lettuce. Tomato. Like KFC, McD will use Beyond Meat.

The new burger will be piloted in 28 Canadian branches for 6 weeks starting at the end of September.
