    I never said they didn’t deserve some fault. I was challenging sausage boy up there on his assertion that McD’s owns their entire supply chain. They don’t own Taylor Farms, their onion supplier, so the assertion that they own their entire supply chain is wrong.

      Yes, I’m very sorry to have misspoke…they only own the livestock farms, distribution centers, the land the restaurants are on, and they have exclusive partnerships with the potato growers and ranchers. They DO outsource the pickles from another supplier (who only supply McDonalds), onions (at least the whole ones, couldn’t confirm a source for the dehydrated), and other produce like tomatoes.
