Yeah, nah. Fuck off. I won’t stand idly by while some stupid ass fast food restaurant tries to guilt trip me into sharing protein that’s rightfully mine.

50g of hot protein for a fiver was always great value (though I'm sure they've put the price up on it now)
It's $8 by me now, but the app always has a coupon to make them $5.
Unless you're in Manhattan, then fuck you.
Specifically if you're in lower Manhattan.
The app presents the real price and they overcharge at the counter/drive thru.
A 20 McNuggets box at McDonalds Italy is 11.80 Euros. Can fill you up on protein for the day by themselves, but they are not cheap. They have a surprisingly very low amount of saturated fats despite being fried. You can get a frozen 1kg bag of them at the local supermarket for around 9 Euros (the MC box is 350g).
Do you mean actual mcd branded ones? We can find normal chicken nuggets, not mcd (but the standard ones are just as good sometimes better). In NL.
No, not McDonald's branded at the supermarket
I know a guy that can get you that.
A 500g cup of Skyr also has about 50g of protein and costs about 1.50€ (Germany).
That would be 100$ per kilogram, a lot more than 1kg of cooked filet mignon
Well only a quarter of that fillet minion would be actual protein for one.
The box of 20 nuggets is apparently 320g, so let's round up to 333g for easy maths. $15 for a kilo of nuggets. And conveniently ~15% protein.
So a steak has 2/3 more protein, we can buy less for the same overall protein
At least where I'm from, I don't think I'm getting 2/3 of a kilo of cooked fillet minion for anything close to $15 (cheapest I can find with a quick Google is a raw one from Aldi at £7 for 170g = $9.50, so $38 for roughly 2/3 of a kg, might be able to do better at Costco or something)
At least the fillet minion would be real and a higher quality protein.
Oh for sure, I'm not saying someone with a choice between the two should go for the nuggets.
Hell, I certainly wish I had the disposable income to be happily having someone cook me a kilo of fillet mignon every day. Though, my insides probably wouldn't be too pleased after a few days...
But yes, if someone wants 50g of protein, is out somewhere away from home and only wants to spend a fiver, there's not a load of options, and this was always a good one when I was more strapped for cash.
Note: McDonald's uses the US slave labor (prison labor) system in the making of their food.
Edit: and also lobbies to lower minimum wage. Fuck you McDonald's
McDonald's gives more benefits than the average entry level job here (and sometimes even slightly higher pay per hour) where people actually fight to get in and who gets in will not let go.
Also, they are forced to adhere to strict food quality rules so everything must be done by other certified bodies.
But of course low/no competition on jobs and less regulations are gonna be exploited by companies that size, and I am sure they wish they could cut costs here too.
To me none of that offsets the use of slave labor and their political presense. But I don't think everyone should boycott. Everyone's situation is different. Maybe you need McDonald's.
If ya want to look into the goals of the restraunt industry I'd look into the NRA (National Restraunt Association). McDonald's is obviously a member.

What a low bar to meet.
The whimsy of no minimum wage laws
I lost it at the contact/chat name.
"My Smelly Wife."
God damnit lol.
Everyone loves a girl that stinks good :3
Oh god lol.
I mean, if she agrees to let me hose her down from time to time, or take a shower with me or something, ooooohbb noooo lol
that's true love
When you cant remember all of your many wives' names you label them like the seven dwarves.
Smelly, Dopey, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sexy, Cleany, and Doc.
I don't want a mommy. I do want to indulgently eat trash food together tho
