No one really believes their burger will stop cyclones in ninety years time.
McDonald's Ends Testing McPlant Burger, Adding Pressure on Beyond Meat StockThis is a complicated way of saying "nobody wants to buy our product":
By Naveen Athrappully, Epoch Times
McDonald's announced that it has concluded the U.S. trial of its McPlant burger, which is made with the plant-based protein manufactured by Beyond Meat (BYND).
In November 2021, McDonald's began testing the meat-free burger in eight restaurants across America. In February this year, the company introduced the McPlant burger at around 600 locations. According to third-party reports, the experiment ended as a failure. In a recent note, according to CNBC, JP Morgan analyst Ken Goldman cited employees from McDonald's revealing that the burger did not sell well enough.
During the first-quarter earnings call in May, Beyond Meat founder and CEO Ethan Brown explained that the company is finding it difficult to pass on rising costs to customers. "You see all these new entrants coming in, and many of them are using price as a way to try to capture early market share," Brown said, according to the earnings call transcript published at The Motley Fool.Meat costs were rising too, but customers were willing to pay.
"And so while the animal protein industry has been able to substantially increase pricing to essentially offset significant reductions in volume, in our sector, we have not had the opportunity to do that."
I have nothing against fake meat (apart from shortages in iron, zinc and B12), but it's become a culture war thing. The same people who want to profit from forcing it on us are often the ones telling us to panic about climate change, or selling us carbon credits, or coercing governments to restrict fertilizer. It's the conflict of interest that stinks.
Bill Gates invested in Beyond Meat. Other investors include the usual suspects: Blackrock, Vanguard, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs etc. It's bad news for them, the share price has fallen from $125 to $34 in the last twelve months. Ominously (for BYND shareholders) fully 34% of the shares are currently held by short sellers. So one third of the shares in existence are on loan to people who think the price will fall further, and who will sell them with glee if it does.
What were the marketing gurus thinking? The vegans who want to save the planet are not shopping at MacDonalds. The health zealots that want to avoid meat for health reasons won't want to eat the bun, the mayo or the spray-on-margarine. For them it needs to be a McBurger-free-burger. Nothing about this makes sense.
Presumably the McBug Burger is coming soon. Cricket-burgers cool the climate?

They can shove their veggie BOLLOCKSING shite where the Sun don't shine.
I cannot grasp their marketing scheme either, I guess it's simply you come broke when you go woke and that is a good thing
Then again, stripping us of the cash and allocating free-of-charge CBDC supply to their ideological comrades is the banksters solution to this petty nuisance, they want us to eat bugs and live in a cave, plugged into the metaverse generating them more shitcoins or whatever..
-shitcoins-
Seriously, run with that idea!
With the globalists this has more than one purpose: compliance, cognitive impeded development, athletic impeded development, great green reset, hormonal balance away from testosterone.
Better than eating a veggie burger and waking up a girl the following morning

Why Are Globalists Promoting the Idea of Human Meat?

And fwiw, back in 2020, when operation covid hoax started, I was following Dr. Carrie Madej's twitter and she found a bizarre twitter account that seemed to be a person who was somehow connected to the royals and was promoting cannibalism. Maybe it was a sick joke, but these days anything is possible. I'm truly starting to think the psychopaths ruling over us are demons. I was so shocked by the info Dr., Carrie found that I saved it. Even though conservative twitter accounts have been taken down, this account promoting cannibalism is still up:

I scrolled through the posts and found these (maybe this is a sick joke?):
-Laura Vasquez, Anthony Bell, and Taylor Sondheim made the #UltimateCulinarySacrifice earlier today at #TheHollydale We thank you and salute you and tonight we will eat you
tweet to Duke and Duchess of Cambridge:
-Love you all and wish I could have been with you but duty calls. See you in Los Angeles to celebrate the 4th year anniversary of Cannibal Cravings at #TheHollydale
after a tweet about Wimbledon:
- Haven’t met Simona but Serena is a dear and we will always have a place for her at The Hollydale... as a guest of course, not as a meal!
Do not try this at home: The safe preparation of human meat for human consumption is a delicate task best left to chefs with lots of experience in this area. So unless you’re a shark, a tiger or a bear, do yourself a favor and stick to a nice rare filet (beef) Mignon
-Have known the Duke of York my whole life and I would trust him with my life. My sisters, my mother and the #WorldGoverningCouncil are all behind you [Link]
-Due to California licensing restrictions on the transportation of human remains we cannot allow guests to take food from the premises. All uneaten food is transported by licensed staff to Senior Shut-ins, Children of Shame Workhouse Orphanage or Luther’s Night and Daycare Center.
-Tomorrow, July 13th, The Hollydale celebrates 4 years serving the finest human flesh. Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to our wonderful customers and the hundreds of lovely donors who’ve made the Ultimate Sacrifice!

All this reading is making me hungry. I think I'll watch 'The Book Of Eli' while I chow down
