McDonald’s is pretty gross, and the company knows that it’s losing popularity with young people, so it’s latest marketing ploy to offer up its cholesterol- and cruelty-packed #BreakfastAllDay is pretty telling. Unfortunately for McD’s, it’s probs too late—considering more people than ever are learning that baby chickens are typically ground up alive in the egg industry and that pigs are often tormented and abused in the pork industry—and that everyone can choose to avoid supporting cruelty by simply eating vegan.
