Just seems like pandering with very little actual environmental impact, ignoring the much more major issue with the central pillar of their business, cattle farming, which is awful for the environment.
To that end, they do appear to be making a genuine effort pushing the Impossible Whopper with a television campaign and, at least in the bay area, placement on the combo board.
I thought the impossible burgers were worse for the environment than beef, and worse for you. The appeal was always 'ethical'.
I know it is similar in nutrition. If it is higher environmental impact, it is simply an economy of scale/new technology problem. It will absolutely get to the point where it is a fraction of the environmental impact as beef.
What gave you this idea? I've attempted to find corroborating evidence online and am coming up blank.
Children don’t play with toys anymore. The amount of McDonald’s junk that gets dumped is shocking. It’s time these toys weee done away with!
I'm not too shy to say that I kind of love getting toys from McDonalds. The amount of Pokemon / Nintendo / etc toys I've gotten have vastly improved my desk set up. They're kind of nice when real figures in a store would cost $15-20 CAD, and with way less packaging to boot.
I understand I'm probably an outlier, however.
I think it's pretty convenient they can pander to the environmentalists and save a ton of money all in one go.
Maybe now kids won’t be so enticed into begging their parents for fast food if there isn’t a shiny toy in each meal. Healthier kids is a laudable outcome too, is it not?
That’s not in BK’s interests in the slightest, though.
Does it have to be for the outcome to be good?
While it is good to move away from plastic, instead of discontinue, can no other construction material be picked up? I have seen 'biodegradable' plastic being used to make water bottles...
Wood would be a great choice but I reckon it is expensive and again, environment...
I'm torn. These were the only reason to tolerate fast food as a kid, and made crappy burgers a joy. But I suspect that BK just did marketing analysis and figured out it was not worth the small incentive. The environmental impact is pure post-fact marketing.
