Quorn & Possible Vegetarian Fast Food

By Rob Sutter


"Vegan" may be one of the most opposing of terms that can be put beside "fast food" one would think of. It's' not like this is unfounded, either, especially when you think about how terrible fast food can be for you in great amounts. In addition, it goes without saying that people can go vegan and ultimately be healthier because of the lifestyle choice made. Quorn meals can help this kind of lifestyle but it seems as though fast food is making a move to appeal to those who abstain from meat.

The Washington Post website reported on the news that McDonalds would be offering a unique menu item in order to coincide with Lent. Basically, the restaurant would be offering what is called Fish McBites throughout the rest of the month until March. I think that out of all of the options the restaurant could offer and all the times possible, McDonald's foresight couldn't have been more impeccable. However, who's to say that this program will absolutely go off without a hitch, considering the restaurant's less-than-healthy reputation?

One could make the argument that McDonalds is making the right choice, appealing to an audience outside of the one which will invest in the products containing meat. However, there is a world of difference between a fast food restaurant like this and a reputable food authority like Quorn. Hopefully more people understand the importance of meatless products, even if they aren't willing to go vegetarian. It's still important to make note of entities the likes of Yumi Media so that you can learn more about the matter.

Quorn is undoubtedly one of the authorities that understand meatless food and I recommend it because of McDonalds in general. I'm not going to criticize the fact that they're adding a new menu option for the sake of Lent. However, my criticism lies in the fact that this isn't an option that's going to be seen year round, at least from what I've read. Even if there's a large outcry of people who want that item to stay on the menu, there's no promise made.

I don't think that McDonalds can get much better in terms of food service but I still don't know about the choices they make at times. With this new menu option made for the sake of Lent, I don't believe that it's going to be successful in the long run. Fast food restaurants have been attempting to bring in meatless options in order to appeal to more people, salads seemingly leading the charge. However, one can argue that there are meatless choices that are better found somewhere else.
