I’m up in Canada and since the start of the pandemic I’ve stopped going to fast food places. But after things got back to normal, I thought why should I go back to ordering food at McD’s … as I thought of it more, I realized it didn’t make any sense.
Fast food is basically unnutritious food made by underpaid workers who don’t like their work … the food doesn’t do me any good and its too expensive … I have to trust the underpaid employee didn’t mess up my order … I waste money by degrading my health only to spend more money to try to get back some good health
I realized it was cheaper in the long run of my life to not eat at these damned places.
If you’re vegan this applies even more. From what I heard McD only has like 3 vegan options while, in comparison, Burger King had the whole menu available in a vegan form.
Yeah, McDs sucks and I haven’t been in years, but I do go to fast good restaurants that have decent quality and pay workers reasonably, like In-N-Out, Five Guys, etc. We don’t go very often, maybe once or twice per month, so we’re happy paying a little more for better quality.
And yeah, as someone who tends to look at calories before ordering to get the best value per dollar (more calories per dollar), this makes complete sense to me. Also, I tend to eat out with my whole family (5 of us), so I think more in terms of the total bill than individual orders since we can share fries or whatever. But given Hank’s reaction, this apparently isn’t how most people approach it.

mcdonalds is the literal worst burger option though
Yeah and a combo at Five Guys is $25 bucks so it’s not like a good cheeseburger is even accessible to most people anymore.

The fries aren’t even vegan at McDonald’s, they use beef products as part of their flavoring
Depends on the country to be clear, although it’s true in the US still for whatever reason.
