The meat-free burger should attract new customers who crave an alternative to the menu options offered at many restaurants.

McDonald’s Hawaii has quite a unique menu in their restaurants. They offer Saimin soup to their patrons. The Hawaiian-style ramen noodle is a staple on the islands. They also serve Portuguese sausage and Spam with rice on their breakfast menu.

The responsibility will now fall on the parents to make the wrong food choice for their kids. Or is this just another veiled money grab to go outside the Happy Meal combo to pay more for the cheeseburger?
