My coworker calls it Crack Burger. That’s because the unchicken nuggets are like crack, they are that good, think McNugget but much better because you don’t get that chicken part mumbo jumbo who knows what nonsense under the crispy skin. And the aroma, the crispy coating etc is better too!!!Yupp it’s better than McNuggets and the dipping sauces that come with them are freakin good too.

It’s bizarre how defensive many of the meat-eaters on this site are…

The comment that meat vs. meat substitute is “carbon neutral” is laughable. Cows aren’t born as patties, they are raised with mass-shipped grain and drugs so they can survive long enough to get fattened up. I eat some meat, try to know where it’s coming from, but judge no one.

I like Zach’s mcd’s line in the sand. That said, I found zen burger overpriced and unsatisfying…

McDonald’s makes good Iced coffee. Unlike Dunkin Doughnuts, they actually realize that sugar does not dissolve in cold drinks, and use a super saturated sugar solution instead, makes their ice coffee more consistently sweet instead of sucking in a mouthful of “sweet sand” at the bottom of the drink.

Also, the filet-o-fish and the old “fraken-nuggets” were the best things on the menu at McDonald’s. Especially when you bit into a huge vein in your chicken nugget, ahh the good ole days. Also, McDonald’s has the best breakfast of any fast food chain.

Cows account for 30% of the greenhouse effect over Argentina, I say we eat the bastards.

Stan – McD’s fries are not vegetarian. The oil is mixed with beef fat (this was actually the subject of a lawsuit a few years ago, but it ultimately settled).

Also, “100% beef” is the same as saying “100% cow” – there are way too many parts to know for sure which one McD’s is sticking between your buns (and yes, all puns intended).

@Angie’sMatt: I have nothing against people who eat meat (or pepperoni sticks for that matter). My comments were meant to criticize McDonald’s for serving items of questionable nutritional value, taste, and origin. I wouldn’t eat at Zen Burger either.

Some of the commenters on this site seem to assume that meat-free food is inherently less tasty than food with meat, and that all vegetarians are raving lunatics like your dear Angie. If you want to discuss food choices and vegetarianism with me, I’d be happy to do so, but I’m not going to lecture you or make snide comments about your meal or rip the cheesesteak from your hands. I’d appreciate it if you’d extend the same courtesy to others.
