Fast food used to be cheap AND convenient. Now itâs just convenient. The fact that I can get a McDonalds meal from the drive thru for the same price as getting a pizza delivered⌠why would I leave my house
They arenât that convenient anymore, at least here. Drive thrus and counter service are glacial in most fast food places. Legit Mexican restaurants cost less than taco bell and are generally faster, just for one example.
I used to get breakfast at McDonaldâs every day before work. Iâd roll up, place my order, hand them a $5 bill, and get change back. And I had a filling breakfast after it all.
Now they want you to finance a hash brown.
Imagine getting people to eat (slightly, if anything) healthier because you are now more expensive than the actual freshly cooked food around your location.
As always, corpos have the biggest of brains.
I bought a filet o fish recently after many years and the thing fit within the palm of my hand. It had exactly one half of a cheese slice since that was enough to cover the entire fish patty.
Mc Donaldâs⌠5 years since Iâve spent any money there. Burger King one year. I still once in a blue moon go to Arbyâs (which I think is the last one still making good food) and even rarer I will visit Taco bell ( canât get the wife and I food there for less than 25) or Hardeeâs. The days of fast food are over.
This guy likes the meats
Taco Bell isnât terrible but yeah most of them can get fucked. Local fast casual is faster, better, and cheaper. Fast food literally has no value prop left.
Wait no way đŽđŽ
Stop calling it âfoodâ, FFS.
Gatekeeping food, of all things? Lol
âGatekeepingâ is the best you can come up with? FFS. You deserve to eat the trash they tell you is âfoodâ. Jog on, son. đ¤đź
What should we call it âfast consumablesâ?
A Food-like Product
The simple fact that weâve accepted their engineered insinuation of âfoodâ is why itâs still an industry â dying as it may be, lately. The entire speciesâd be better off if global gen pop wasnât such a fuckinâ crab bucket of slack-jawed idiocy. gestures at certain others here đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸
But I mean itâs a question of how you define food at that point. How would you define food?
Nutrition/nourishment is a zero-tolerance requirement.
Fast food, et al, has lobbied against this and other fundamental aspects of the term for ages â to the point now that weâre apparently discussing differences in âpersonal definitionsâ of the basic linguistic term.
I mean, fuck. What is and what isnât âfoodâ is such a baseline at every level (ie. micro to macro) that the vast majority of organic life doesnât riff on the tableture â let alone do so with fanboi frothy zeal and only the assurances of randos trying to pitch the squawk of shit as âmusicâ.đ¤Śđźââď¸
You are what you eat, friends. Do better. You donât have to be shit. đ
As bad as it is for you a Big Mac does have nutrition. There are things like protein and calcium in there.
Keep handjobbinâ olâ Ronald and telling yourself he loves you. The mental gymnastics youâre displaying are a coping mechanism. Stop eating shit.
I mean, are we at the point where facts just donât matter? Are you saying there isnât protein in a burger?
Overprocessed consumables.
I donât think that rolls off the tongue as well as fast food. Maybe itâs the alliteration.
A friend of mine calls this tier of cuisine âbiomassâ.
âBiomassâ implies organic origins â precisely what this shit lacks, in general. đ¤˘
For example, Taco Bell was long ago restricted from referring to their taco stuffing as âmeatâ as it had/s lower than 20% âmeatâ by volume. (and even thatâs below âprison gradeâ â which is already below dog food)
So, they call it âtaco fillingâ, and people still slurp it down like always. Fucking morons.

Yes, I too am confused when people like different flavors than I do. How can they not be me? Iâm me, they should be me, too.
Yeah, itâs a âflavorâ thing.
FYI: The âfalse equivalencyâ fallacy is the laziest of them all. Maybe youâd do better not eating shit. đĽ˛
Maybe youâd do better minding your own plate and let others eat what they want.
What you call a âplateâ seems more likely a trough, citizen. Enjoy.
Next.
This is a weird thing to care so much about.

FWIW, Iâm not defending âfast foodâ in any way. đ¤˘đđ˝ââď¸
Youre just picking a target that has a higher public opinion. TB for those that eat there, consider it to be a better tasting food experience which has actually gotten better over the years. Demo man might turn out to be rightâŚ
