McDonald's opens first veggie restaurant

Not that there are no McDonald's outlets in India, the gist is India will be the first country to have a vegetarian McDonald's. In this restaurant, you won't find your usual cheeseburgers or chicken nuggets. In India, 42% of the population don't eat meat as they consider the cow to be a sacred animal. There is also a large Muslim population in India which makes eating pork forbidden.

The new vegetarian Mac restaurant was opened in Amritsar in nothern India, where the Golden temple is located. The drift is, since meat is prohibited in or around the temple and there is a steady flow of pilgrims, the best way to attract hungry pilgrims is to open a vegetarian restaurant and McDonald's has just done that. The second restaurant will be opened in Katra, India; which is another pilgrimage site.

So if you've been waiting for a Mac vegetarian meal, here is your chance. India beckons!
