There is no substitute for meat.

I agree. Grilled kale won't fly. The idea will bomb.

[Mr Rogers]

Because this is what I want in fast food...not!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Grass, sticks and berries are “upscale”? Who the hell’s scale are they using?

[skinkinthegrass]

Rabbit food.

[miss marmelstein]

Why didn’t they just call their restaurant Soylent Green?

[Mastador1]

I wonder if these are the same clowns responsible for the so called healthy menu items that tanked so badly and cost Owner/Operators so much money during their terms, and being reminded of their positions I see the answer is yes. May they be blessed with the same financial losses they forced on others.

and Mike Donahue, McDonald’s USA’s former chief of corporate communications, to launch LYFE Kitchen three years ago.

3 years ago? Never heard of it. Must be extremely popular somewhere. Maybe Arkansas.

If they want to impress me, how about they teach their $15 per hour employees that there’s supposed to be a freaking EGG in a Sausage EGG McMuffin!!!!!

I went to three different stores and ordered these and they ALL forgot the egg!

Go to minimum wage people for something, expect minimum wage results.

After your first coronary bypass you'll figure out that there are plenty of substitutes for meat....

Since when was quinoa been an “upscale” food? As a serious home cook, quinoa has been a standing joke of mine long before it was featured as such in the popular beer ads.

The “taste” (and I use that word loosely) of quinoa makes the flavor of grits seem like one is dining on truffles.

[freekitty]

Exactly and I want real meat.

[P-Marlowe]

Kale? You have got to be kidding me. Build a restaurant on Rabbit food?

If there were a demand for that crap, Ray Kroc would have added it to the menu back in the 50’s. People go to restaurants because they want to feel satisfied when they leave. The reason rabbits eat that stuff is because no one else will and rabbits can’t kill anything. Rabbits eat it so they can feed Coyotes. If you want to be the prey of a pack of Coyotes, then load up on Kale. They’ll smell you coming and surround you on your morning jog.

I might try the fish tacos and the “grass-fed beef” burger, but not much else on the menu really sounds appetizing.

[Gaffer]

Yet, the very connection of two former McDonalds officials and the words “meat substitute” somehow confirm what I’ve grown to think of their burgers since I worked at one 50 years ago when I was 14.

Starbucks gave us the $7 cup of coffee - these guys are giving us “gourmet” fast foods. If the cost can be compared to “gourmet jelly beans” I can predict my non-involvement in their endeavor.

I haven’t been near a McDonald’s since college. It’s good not having hershey squirts.
