Cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals killed for meals at fast-food joints need our help now. Having vegan options available at popular chains like McDonald’s and Burger King would make it easier to find tasty, animal-friendly food on the go – and it could also encourage meat-eaters, many of whom have never set foot in a vegan restaurant, to try out plant-based foods.

When you’re out and about and need something pronto, chains like Pizza Hut, Harvester, and Frankie & Benny’s have their exciting vegan dishes and menus at the ready. But some of the top fast-food outlets are lagging behind, offering few or no plant-based options. The number of vegans in the UK has grown by a mammoth 550 per cent in the last two years – there are now over 3.5 million vegans here – so we think it’s time that these chains joined the vegan revolution, don’t you?

Let’s make 2020 the year that fast food becomes more animal-friendly, more inclusive, and more sustainable.

How You Can Help

When you ask, they listen! Last year, 20,000 of you urged Greggs to add a vegan sausage roll to its menu – and now, your local branch has this iconic option. Let’s use our power once again: simply tweet the chains listed below to ask them to offer vegan versions of popular dishes.

We’ve suggested some tweets, so this should only take a couple of seconds, but also feel free to write your own.
