This image has the energy of "did you know Hitler was vegetarian?"

I guess, it's just very funny that this was part of it

This looks like something that would be done as a promotional ad for McDs, not something that would be part of a shareholder meeting lmao

People's McRepublic of Ancapistan ancap-good

Wikipedia: According to Fisher, capitalist realism has so captured public thought that the idea of anti-capitalism no longer acts as the antithesis to capitalism. Instead, anti-capitalism is deployed as a means for reinforcing capitalism. This is done through modern media which aims to provide a safe means of entertaining anti-capitalist ideas without actually challenging the system. The lack of coherent alternatives, as presented through the lens of capitalist realism, leads many anti-capitalist movements to cease targeting the end of capitalism, but instead to mitigate its worst effects, often through individual consumption-based activities such as Product Red.

Clapping vociferously for the McDonald's TED Talk between each line to ensure I am able to maintain my hourly burger supply (mandatory by American law)

Yeah I would actually consider eating there again if they had literally anything that was vegan or at least vegetarian except maybeee the fries

I forgot they have locations in Israel

Yeah nvm lol

[–] nemoTheCatfish@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

a tiktoker I follow said he can't even eat the fries there cuz they're fried in beef tallow (I also saw comments saying they stopped that so idk)

[–] PaX@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I've heard it varies from location to location

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I'll have to look that up too cuz I bought an extra side of fries for a Jain friend and then they couldn't eat them and it made them feel bad which then made me feel bad because they were earnestly so sad about wasting food. I did make some killer breakfast burritos out of those fries so not all was wasted but in the moment it was a real bummer. There is a serious lack of fast food options that are veggie/vegan that aren't a salad.

They stopped using beef tallow in the 1990s, or possibly literally 1990, depending on who you ask. Very likely before your tiktoker was born.

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

I worked there some time between 2005-15 (I'm old and can't remember years well but it was definitely after 1990) and I absolutely was told to put the lard in the fry vats. Interestingly they used canola oil for the non French fry vats.
