That’s what I don’t get. Do people actually eat this garbage still? It’s literally toxic trash that costs twice as much as a home cooked meal and tastes like shit. Why???
Because I'm at work/on the road and don't have a stocked kitchen available?
I'm not trying to make a 45 minute stop to sit down and eat a meal.
Bad bot
Bro, you need to learn about the hidden cost of being poor.
I'm healthier than 95% of the people I know. I don't eat fast food all the time. Just when I don't have a better option. I'd love to have plenty of time and money to make the absolute best choices at all times or better yet just take a pill that meets all my nutritional requirements but that's not the world I live in.
If it’s not fast food, it’s Denny’s, Shari’s, Olive Garden, etc, just as bad if not worse for you than fast food.
I know what you’re saying but you gotta plan your stops more. 9 out of 10 exits have fast food. But 1 out of 10 exits have grocery stores. Grocery stores have prepared food that is healthier.
You can get a hot rotisserie chicken and a freshly made garden salad at most grocery stores and it’ll be cheaper than a McDonald’s combo meal. Way healthier too!
Yeah sure just let me eat an entire rotisserie chicken with my bare hands on the way to my meeting.
Step outside your own circumstances and attempt to actually think of reasons why people would want/need to choose fast food. Don't delude yourself with all the easy reasons to avoid fast food. Those reasons are immaterial in the lives of many.
