Permalink McDonald's vegetarian fare in UK

Today is World Vegetarian Day!

McDonald's is reported linking up with the Vegetarian Society in Britain.

The Vegetarian endorsement comes after a year of negative publicity for the fast-food chain, which has been criticized for contributing to the childhood obesity crisis in Britain.

Plans call for the addition of Quorn burgers, yogurt, bagels and fruit toast to McDonald's menus, the London Guardian says.

The burger giant soon will be exhibiting the Vegetarian Society's familiar seedling logo alongside Big Macs, french fries and Chicken McNuggets, the report says.

The Vegetarian Society is said to have gone to great lengths to ensure the production of the new options did not involve meat in any way.

The last time I was in Britain, I found it refreshing to walk into McDonalds and see Indian food on the menu. I had vegetarian samosa's.
