Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I ate some of these years back when they introduced them for a time in Ohio, and we found out later that they'd substitute regular beef patties when they ran out of the few veggie patties each outlet was allotted, and not tell the customer. This and many other deceptive, lying policies is why I refuse to patronize McDonald's in any form whatsoever no matter what their promises and assurances may be. And if I want a tasty burger I can go home, mix ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish into mayonnaise, slice an onion, a tomato, and rip up some lettuce, and toast a bun, (better yet a bagel), wave some MSF fake Bacon strips, wave a MSF Griller, and even add a slice of soy or rice cheese if I wish, and have a far better burger than any fast food joint could offer me.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Yes...exactly why I recommended a homemade version. MSF grillers and morning strips are excellent. I'd rather place both in a pan in a few dots of evoo and a bit of garlic and take the extra time and lil effort to toast those suckers....tastes MUCH better, imo. Also, any lil extra activity helps with those strips....it aint low in fat!

How did you find this out? That is sick and wrong and in my opinion, deserving of another lawsuit. I won't patronize them either. I did get stuck going in one one time on a business trip. We were all looking for breakfast and it was seemingly the only option to my coworkers. I wouldn't buy anything though. I waited and got something elsewhere.

Well, if you're ever stuck there again, do stay away from their veggie patties, hot coffee and beefy fries......unless you want to earn a share from the deserving lawsuit of course. I'd be willing to bet there are thousands of horror stories at such places. I can't wait to read ffn. Haven't former employees put out published literature on such practices.....maybe ffn gets some of its info from them. S.

Oh, too right!!! ;=) I totally agree. My only hesitation would be this: I think of 'fast food' as something I get when I woould otherwise have to *fast* (hah! ;=)) - that is to say when I have not just come from home or am not just returning home - when I am out and about and need to refuel for lunch or dinner, perhaps on holiday, and don't have time for a sit-down restaurant meal. If we can't trust these devils to give us something edible in their veggie burgers, that's a sad comment. But of course MickeyD is pretty saaad.
