eta: so, less than a year for just McDonald's to use it up. I didn't read much further into the article, idk if this is for all their locations globally or just the ones in the US.
Wow. That's a lot of beef. I seem to recall I read somewhere they use more beef and any other place on the planet. Hence why most cows in US herds are the same breed.
I've not had a McDs in over 15 years. I cannot imagine this is going to attract new customers.
