In theory this will mean a more healthy population, as people start cooking food at home, instead of eating fast food.
Sucks for people on the move though.

disagree. if you stopped eating fast food only because you can't afford it, you're not going to all of a sudden "eat healthy." you're just going to switch to ramen, tv dinners, frozen tendies, or whatever other <1 minute to cook garbage from the grocery store. nothing's happened except "cheap fast zero effort food" has become "cheap slow greater than zero effort food"
You're not wrong, but I'm still betting that stuff you buy from the supermarket and cook at home will be healthier than what's cooked at a fast food joint.

if by "stuff" you mean actual fresh produce, fruit, and even meat, then yes you're right-- i'm talking about the prepackaged shit in a flashy red/yellow themed bag/box, which is as close to fast food as you can get without being fast food. that's what people are switching to if/when they ditch the drive thru
The biggest issue is breaking the habit - when people are building new habits, some portion are going to make healthier decisions (Though you're right, some will continue doing the next lowest effort option)
except that the prices of food as a whole are going up right alongside fast food.

,Not saying you're wrong in some cases, but I buy these pre-cooked meals at Costco, where all you have to do is heat them in a pan/oven and serve, then they're quick to do (and I'm a horrible cook to boot).
But I get it, it comes down to how much money you have, and how much time you have to spend to make how much money that you have.
But the bottom line is, at the end of the day, for practically everyone, eating home cooked meals is going to be better for them, than just sustaining off of fast food meals from outside 24/7.

,I never said you did. I was just saying that eating some Costco sold food that you have to prepare in your own home would be preferable than eating fast food 24/7.

,I'm talking about overall which scenario is healthier/better to be eating, outside food versus home cooked food, specifically what ingredients each uses and how each one is prepared.
You're misinterpreting what I'm saying, and missing the overall point being made.
It's not a quantity issue in and of itself, it's which of the two scenarios you choose whenever you want to eat.

Who cooks three meals for themselves? Just skip breakfast.
Cook fast meals. Meal prep.
Regardless, stop eating garbage fast food.
