It is a green revolution in McChicken’s world

DNA Mumbai

Activists found an unlikely partner for vegetarian outreach with a McDonalds in Thane, India, which already serves local-styled vegetarian foods:

The Thane outlet of the restaurant chain, on Monday, promoted its vegan meals — lemon-flavoured ice tea, French fries, burgers without mayonnaise, McVeggie and Mc Aloo Tikki with veg patties.

“We are asking them to have more vegetarian products and vegan meals. Our target are fast food restaurant chains like McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Café Coffee Day, etc,” said Sunish Subramanium, PAWS volunteer. They planned to approach other MCDonald’s outlets in the city as well, he added. “This is an internationally popular concept, which was started 22 years ago and which spread like wild fire in the United States,” said Sujatha Karanth, coordinator, DIYA, who organised a similar campaign in Bangalore on Monday.

Certainly if the demand is there, it would behoove these restaurants to carry more vegetarian and vegan products. I don't see the demand in the U.S. yet, but I sure am curious about the Mc Aloo Tikki.
