Mind boggling News: McD's Goes Vegetarian?

Anyone else's mind boggled with the news that McDonald's is opening up vegetarian restaurants? I just can't get my head around the concept; the change in brand profile,my long-established image of McDonald's burgers and fries and the also mind-boggling weight gain for that guy featured in the documentary, "Super Size Me". He ate at McD's 3 times a day for 30 days and gained a Whopping (lol) 24.5lbs.

In case you're interested in visiting and checking out the menu, you'll have to go to India. And it does sound enticing since they've incorporated an Indian flair with "chicken burgers; the McVeggie, a vegetarian patty with carrots, peas and potatoes; a McAloo Tikki or deep-fried patty of spicy mashed potatoes; and a McSpicy Paneer, a patty of traditional Indian cheese."

Ironically, the Super Size Me guy at a vegan diet afterwards to loose the weight and here we are a few years later with McDonald's shocking us with vegetarian restaurants.

Truly mind-boggling stuff.
