Fast food giant McDonald's has announced it will introduce a line of plant-based meat alternatives called "McPlant" in 2021.
McDonald's said it would offer plant-based burgers, chicken substitutes and breakfast sandwiches.
Barclays Bank forecasts that consumption of meat alternatives might be worth $140bn (£106bn) by 2029.
McDonald's has tested out a plant-based burger in Canada with Beyond Meat - a producer of plant-based meat.
However, shares of Beyond Meat plummeted after the announcement by McDonald's as it was not clear who would supply the fast-food chain with the meat alternative.
I have to admit, I'm surprised it's taken as long as this: other chains (such as Burger King) brought these out months ago.
Still, I wonder what this is going to be? Will it be the Impossible Burger, the Beyond Burger, or something different entirely?
