NEW YORK,NEW YORK, January 23, 2022 (thestreet.com): The fast-food giant has tried healthy before, and it failed. McDonald’s Corporation Report wants customers who care about healthy eating, and it wants options for its existing customers when they want a meal that’s healthier than a Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets. The business logic for this makes sense — some people want to eat healthy food — but the reality has never proven that anyone wants healthy choices from McDonald’s. McPlant might be different, but the fast-food giant has gone down this road before and the ending has always been the same.

“The McPlant includes a plant-based patty co-developed with Beyond Meat that’s exclusive to McDonald’s and made from plant-based ingredients like peas, rice, and potatoes. The patty is served on a sesame seed bun with tomato, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and a slice of American cheese,” the company touted in a press release.

In addition, it’s important to note that the McPlant won’t appeal to many people who don’t eat meat for a reason the chain probably can’t correct. “It’s also cooked on the same grill as meat-based products and eggs,” the company shared.
