McDonald’s Announces It’s Abandoning Burgers, Introducing All Soy-Based Menu!

Cash-strapped and with sales declining, McDonald’s today (April 1, 2023) announced in a press release that they would stop selling meat-based hamburgers by May 1 this year, and would introduce a line-up of all-soy products by next year.

The Oak Brook, Illinois-based company announced several new soy-based products in the press release, which follows:

OAK BROOK, IL--(Marketwired – April 1, 2023) - McDonald's USA (NYSE: MCD) today announced new menu changes designed to revolutionize the American palate and remain in tune with growing trends in the food marketplace.

McDonald’s U.S. restaurants will stop selling all hamburgers by May 1, and introduce a larger line of chicken products by the end of the year, CEO Steve Easterbrook said. The company will feature an all-soy burger product line by January 1, 2022. It will greatly expand its line-up of chicken products throughout the current year.

"Our customers have been demanding healthier menu items and we’ve listened to their concerns. They want food they can feel good about eating, and for McDonald’s, that’s soy and other non-beef items."

Some of the new products we’ll be introducing are the Big MacSoy™, the Double McSoy™ and (starting in California and the American Southwest in 222, nationwide in 2023) the Soy McBurritto™. Several new chicken items will be introduced, including McChicken Bites in both “original” and “spicy” varieties.

Abbott Media Launches World Politics News MicroBlog

News Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Thursday, January 26, 2012

Contact: Stephen Abbott 603.341.0372; stephen(at)abbott-media.net

Abbott Media Launches World Politics News MicroBlog

Abbott Media, a New England-based company that innovates and inspires micro-businesses that serve others, has launched World Politics News (worldpoliticsnews.blogspot.com) a MicroBlog dedicated to expanding our knowledge of politics around the world.

Each day, World Politics News seeks out links to news stories that inform readers of the vital political and cultural stories that are shaping the world, but are under-reported (and sometimes completely ignored) by American media companies.

The site not only links to stories, in the format pioneered by Matt Drudge, but will feature short MicroStories^TM of up to 250 words or less that encapsulate vital world events and bring them to readers in a smart, efficient and easily understandable way.

Abbott Media founder Stephen Abbott, a former newspaper reporter and public relations consultant, will serve at the project’s administrator and chief editor. He says the project will fill important gaps in American news coverage.

“News media in the United States are dropping the ball by not delivering world news effectively and in a way that informs us about the political currents shaping our world,” he said. “These currents could, as they reach our shores, turn into tidal waves or Tsunamis that effect our quality of life. To be ill-informed about politics in Asia, Europe, Latin America or Africa is to be blind to what’s going to happen to us in the next decade, or even next week.”

Abbott says the project will seek out guest reporters and will accept advertising, grants and donations to fund a full-time staffing operation.

Abbott Media innovates and inspires micro-businesses that serve others in a positive way. Abbott Media is located online at www.abbott-media.net.
