McDonald's is a waste of time

True, but fuck KSL, it's a Mormon-owned entity.

They're not talking about human beings.

They said "consumer." Which they don't see as human, only as meat with eyes.

I'm overweight, not especially healthy, and even back in the day when I was dirt poor and on heroin (I'm good now, for 17 years, thanks) I never ate that shit. It just made me miserable every time and my stomach was never full. Even simple sugar cubes were a better short term solution back then, used to put 12 in my coffee.

I stopped eating fast food, oh… shit, almost 20 years ago.

these things, though. CRACK. these and sausage egg McMuffins. once a year on my birthday. I’ll pay whatever for them.

edit: before you even… I’ve tried finding the ingredients elsewhere and replicating them— it’s impossible!

I’m so mad about it I haven’t been there in a decade.

McDs is one of a handful of optuons I have so I cant really boycott; however, today I found a dastardly trick: the order kiosks suddenly switched medium and large so you will accidentally order the large size. Almost got me, but not quite

Simple solution seems to be just eat the rich.

My favorite Korean restaurant raised prices twice in a year. It went from $16 to $19 to $22 for a box of Korean fried chicken.

Where the big companies can handle it (and at times, are the ones doing it), mom and pop shops are getting fucked and have to raise prices too.

Not for me. My fast food intake has drastically shrank. Better for my health anyway

What I hate most is that they removed the mcchicken biscuit... makes no sense for me to go there for breakfast now

For the longest time I knew fast food junk was not good for you so I ate less of it.

During the pandemic I completely avoided fast food.

It's been three years now and I haven't gone to any fast food at all.

Now I can't rationalize eating it any more.

It isn't healthy, it isn't food, it has no nutrition, it has too much of the things that degrade your health. It's also prepared by people being paid as little as possible to maximize the profit to the people who do the least in the transaction.

From a health point of view is like investing in degrading your body .... it's like investing in rust for your car or pouring tiny amounts of water or sugar in your gas tank ... it's paying a premium for an unhealthy body in the future.

And now it costs more ... it costs more to ruin your health. So you spend a lot of money now to ruin your health and then spend a lot more money to fix your unhealthy self when you get older.

When you look at it over a lifetime, it's far cheaper to just not eat fast food
