Ffs make your own burger. It takes a few minutes. Toast a sesam roll. Fry some meat with salt and pepper with cheese on top. Cut an onion, tomato and add some mayonnaise.
That's all. It's more tasty than those horrible McD burgers. And at least you know what you put inside.
I agree. People want cheap, crappy and unhealthy food and go quiet some length to complain if it costs more... but still eat it.
Making you own is cheaper, tastes far better and is healthy. You can make big portions, freeze parts of it for later etc. if it is too much effort to do it daily.
It's about time and energy, picking up fast food on the way home takes less time and energy than keeping the fridge stocked and prepping meals for many people. It requires more planning and foresight, especially if there aren't markets nearby. It's easy to fall into routines that corporations try to suck you into. They're victims of capitalism.
I don't want cheap, crappy and unhealthy food. I want to be able to get a decent burger or chicken sandwich from a drive thru where the employees are fairly compensated and the corporation isn't gouging everyone it can.
Everyone forgets it's the minimum living wage, not just minimum wage.
I have chronic fatigue and if I have to go out I know I won't be able to muster up the energy to fix food when I get home. On top of living 40 minutes from town when I have to go to town for doctors or appointments.
If meal prep works for you, that's great! I hope it continues!
