It's because McDonalds only brings it back right after there's been a steep decline in the price of pork.

"The blue line is the price of hogs in America over the last decade, and the black lines represent approximate times when McDonald’s has reintroduced the McRib, nationwide or taken it on an almost-nationwide “Farewell Tour” (McD’s has been promising to get rid of the product for years now).":

This study was done 14 years ago, but I imagine it still holds true.

I actually quite like it.

This might sound bad to some people, but it reminds me of an old vegetarian meat alternative I used to quite like in texture.

Im constantly baffled by how gotten by propogandists people must be to feel everything has to taste exactly like some known quantity meat they're already used to.

You're welcome to like it, and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but people don't hate the mcrib because of propaganda - it's because it's low quality pork form pressed into a gross, gristley slab that sort of resembles meat if you squint and don't look too closely.

When I worked there a couple decades ago, it always smelled borderline rancid, but I was never sure if that was the brown sugar sauce they called bbq sauce, or if that was the actual meat I was smelling. I can only imagine how the quality has improved over the years. /s

The thing is, the reasons you've listed aren't reasons based on personal taste, but what you've come to associate with being proper meat. Thats what I'm challenging. The idea of what a savoury, protein filled food item has to be, to be deemed good/welcomed.

If the response was purely that they didn't like the taste or texture, those, I believe, are completely legitimate and fair. Instead, the responses often boil down to naturalistic fallacies and ideas of what good food is that start from the perspective of what would make the meat industry the most money being pressed into them through ridiculous amounts of lobbying.

I actually love the mcrib. You can buy them from the store. This year imma try to make them in the air fryer and use some high quality sauce and see if I can make a better version.
