    If fast food worker wages cannot sustain life then fast food is unsustainable and should die out. If fast food becomes as slow and/or as expensive as a restaurant meal then fast food is a market distortion that shouldn’t exist. Simple as.

      Not to mention ultra-processed foods and soft drinks are costing thousands of lives and billions of dollars of medical expenses per year. We have the fast food industry causing a health crises and a shitty ‘healthcare’ system perpetuating it.

      Around where I am, fast food is the same price as some restaurants and only a few dollars less than others. For the most part they are faster though, so maybe there’s a point for people to go. Also easier to sit at a fast food place for a bit rather than take up a table that a server needs to turn for a while.

        People go out of habit. Honestly, that is usually why my family ends up getting any of them, but we have even broken those habits as prices keep going up. They have forgotten their place.
