How about veggie McDonald’s here?

Updated: September 14, 2012 1:16PM

McDonald’s is opening two
vegetarian-only restaurants.

Not, unfortunately, in one of the hipper
neighborhoods of Chicago, or even somewhere in California. But in India — in Amritsar and
Katra.

This makes sense. For reasons of religion and tradition, Indian diets tend to be low in meat, with about 30 percent of Indians eating no meat at all.

But vegetarians are growing in number in
this country, too, and we’re pretty sure a veggie McDonald’s would fare well in or around Chicago.

Our first reaction when we read the
news about a vegetarian-only McDonald’s
was to laugh. Aren’t these the folks
who invented the double-beef-patty Big
Mac?

But why not? A veggie McDonald’s is an excellent idea — right here at home.~.
