Plant based burgers are happening

                           Burger King                                                               McDonald's



McDonald’s is the next major fast food chain to offer a meatless burger in partnership with Beyond Meat. The restaurant chain has announced that it will be testing out the resulting plant-based creation in 28 of its Canadian restaurants over the span of 12 weeks.

Burger King Sweden is so proud of its plant-based Rebel Whopper and Rebel Chicken King sandwiches that the fast food restaurant is offering burger fans a daring challenge in the form of its 50/50 Menu. Anyone who orders a Whopper or Chicken King off the menu will be served either the original sandwich or plant-based variety, with the aim to prove that the new, non-meat items are indistinguishable from the originals.
