Most Canadians are unaware of what they are putting into their mouths. Food is becoming more convenient than ever; however, it is taking a major toll on our environment. The meat and dairy industry is evidently harmful to animals, but what most people don't know is that it is hurting our environment too. To produce a 1/3-pound burger, it requires roughly 2,500 liters (660 gallons) of water.

Right now, McDonald's is trailing the McVegan burger in Finland. This is fantastic! Let's petition for the McDonald's McVegan burger to make its way to Canada (and North America), to spread more awareness to the vegan message. Bringing the McVegan to Canada (and North America) will be more convenient for vegans and vegetarians on the go, it is better for your health*, and the environment.

Even if you are not vegan/vegetarian, it is cool to support us! After all, sometimes we want to enjoy a (harmless) McDonald's product too.

*Keep in mind McDonald's products are not the healthiest choice you can make, but this was used to emphasize that vegan foods are "healthier" than meat and dairy products.
