It always cracks me up to see how pissed off at fast food restaurants people on social media get over really specific things like “I’ll never eat at Wendy’s again after what they did to the chicken sandwich.” Or, “They ended 5 for 5 Tuesdays and since then I’ve never been back.”
It’s especially funny on Lemmy though where people are pretty left and in one comment calling for abolishing capitalism and in the next they’re getting pissed about how McDonald’s chicken nuggets only come with 4 pieces instead of 5 now, or something.
To me it’s all gross and not even food, so I don’t ever eat there. But, yes, abolish capitalism and don’t eat shitty corporate fast food.
I some times browse their menus when I’m in a depressive state, but in reality, I havnt had fast food, out side of one crunchwrap (that absolutely sucked) in the last 5-7 years. I got a black bean crunchwrap sometime last summer, and it just confirmed why I don’t go to these places at all anymore. It’s so unhealthy anyway, and there’s absolutely no benefit if you ignore that either. In my youth I went ten years with no fast food. Broke my veganism for Wendy’s sometime in 2014… Aye, but were getting back there.
I feel like cooking is an act of defiance in today’s capitalist world. There are many benefits to doing so. Don’t support them, it’s simple.

People tend to get pissed when their g5ood gets more expensive, or when the quality drops. I dunno what else to tell yah.
Fast food was never quality.
All things have a measure of quality, even the crappy things.
This is whats known as a snobb
Maybe not, but at least it was affordable calories.
Now it’s neither.
