Yesterday I saw a McDonald’s supply truck that said “Egg McMuffins without Canadian farmers” and it had a picture of a McMuffin without the egg.

My first thought was “shouldn’t there have been nothing there at all?”

These have been around since before though. I always used to see a similar one but with beef burgers. They show off about how Canadian their product is when the truth is legally they have to use egg/milk and I guess beef products in Canada because we have different (better) standards than American counterparts.

McDonald's has always sourced a lot of their inputs regionally.

It saves on shipping costs and reduces shipping delays. And it allows them to not be locked to a single (potentially vulnerable to shortages) global supplier of anything.

That sounds like attempting to purchase a pineapple-flavored apple pie
