McDonald's Surprising New Vegan Chicken Nuggets Will Completely Change the Future of Fast Food As We Know It - Inc
According to Gallup, 3 percent of Americans now identify themselves as vegan -- a number that is increasing. McDonald's and other fast-food giants have noticed.
I'm not sure why fast-food giant McDonald's is introducing its interesting new vegan food options only to Europe and not the United States, but it sure seems to be the case. However, with the recent introduction of vegan chicken nuggets to McDonald's restaurants in Norway, there's hope that this new product will make it to our shores in the not-too-distant future.
And for good reason. According to a report on food trends published by research firm Global Data, "Rising veganism and awareness of the impact of meat consumption are driving demand for meat-free substitutes."
Previous vegan product introductions by McDonald's have gone well. After testing in Sweden during fall 2017, the McVegan burger was permanently added to the menu of McDonald's restaurants in Finland and Sweden in December 2017. According to news reports, 150,000 of the vegan burgers were sold in just one month. And in January 2019, McDonald's introduced a vegan McFalafel in Sweden and a vegan Spicy Veggie Wrap in the UK.
But, why not in the United States?
