Sign the McMissing petition for a plant-based burger on US McDonald's menus

Why it's urgent

No fixed deadline is given. The campaign was posted October 7, 2026.

The strategy

Asks McDonald's to add a plant-based option, using customer demand as the pressure. Plant-based options could reduce demand for some animal products, but the effect of one signature is small.

Why it scored 33

Scale: Big: Guess: under 1 million animals, since no source gives a figure for how many animals a US plant-based patty would replace.
Severity: Moderate: The benefit to animals would be indirect, since it depends on customers choosing the option instead of meat.
Chance of success: Long shot: The report shows no commitment from McDonald's to a US plant-based patty.
Your difference: Small: A single petition signature among many.
