But McDonalds does use other meats......... Not saying worms is in their meat (intentionally), but if it makes financial sense, I guarantee they will have looked at it.
I am always amazed by... seemingly otherwise.... normal people who genuinely believe they can read minds. Or believe because they think/believe something to be true... it then becomes reasonable.
I don't understand this one, but cool. If a business can make a larger profit on their product by changing the specs, it is in their best interest to do so. Unless there is a regulation preventing meat from certain sources preventing an alternative, any restaurant should certainly consider that option. The only thing keeping rat meat out of food is bad PR about rats being dirty.
Any animal can be used for meat but some are more palatable than others. In the US, guinea pigs are pets. When I was in Peru, I ate some delicious carne empanadas everywhere from street vendors to sit down restaurants. Carne in this case means cuy (guinea pig) in most cases. Did that stop locals or even tourists from eating it? Nope. And guess what? Nobody wore a tin foil hat when doing so. What is normal in one place isn't others and that's fine.
To be clear... Zebra meat is not acceptable in the US (nor cost effective) but in parts of Africa it's a normal animal to consume. If worms were considered normal in a given local and it was cost effective, by all means McDonalds should consider using that as a protein source!
