Is fast food still economically viable where you live?

Question

where i live, you pay less for a healthy meal from a proper restaurant at this point and the "fast food" restaurants actually now take as much time to prepare your food. fast food has plummeted in quality and skyrocketed in price over the past decade or 2.

With fast food you dont know what your getting. And more.

McDonald's commercial says they serve over 7 billion hamburgers a day. There's not that many cows in the world to do that. So what is in their ambergers

I think fast food is disgusting last year I changed the way I eat and what I eat as I get older I want to be come healthier. My body felt like I got beat up every day.

And I started to realize that the foods that I were eating were good foods.
But not good for you in some cases. I quit using cooking oil. That made one big difference. I mean hell of a big difference

And then I started eating avocado and an artichoke everyday

Gut health. # 1 thing to fix in your body. I started taking 3B vitamins. I started taking d three. And the thing ISIS those vitamins dissolve and don't get to go to the places. They're supposed to go before they break down. Not unless you eat them with ice water and keep your system cold. It gets to the places. It's supposed to go I feel 10 times younger. I feel 10 times better. I just look good. I take beet root. I take oranges and lemons. I take the peel. Dehydrate them and then turn them into powder salad. Anything everything for flavoring and it's so good for you.

For fast food if I went to buy 2 big max fries and cokes. It's twenty five thirty bucks here

There's a bar down the street. I can get null2 hamburgers, big hamburgers. Real french fries that are you can't eat them all for twenty dollars and it's real food. I'm gonna tell you right now. If you're eating junk food fast food as you get older it's going to destroy you. It's already is destroying. My mom had dementia alzheimer's and if I wouldn't know what I know now she might still be alive.

Another major thing you can do for yourself is r original original is one of the best herbs for you in this world. And if you get. The herb oregano. oil, it will clean all the parasites out of your body. That's disgusting but it's true and if you will start living life. If you have pets.
If you eat certain types of food you have bugs in your body and it's destroyed you from the inside out. For me I say stop buying fast food

A regular food nowadays is getting to be just as bad

I see ground beef at $3.79 a pound. So $0.95 for a quarter-pounder. Hamburger roles on sale 2 packs of 8 for $4 so $0.25 for a bun. Cheddar Cheese is $2.90 a pound. There are 24 slices in a pound so $0.12 for a slice of cheese. Each condiment you add is probably a penny or two in extra cost. Due to BOGOs I see potatoes at $1.92 a pound. So A large french fry is like a quarter pound of potatoes so $0.48. You might need like $0.10 of oil to fry them in, but you can reuse the oil like 4-5 times if you put it in a jar. Soda runs a $1-$3 for a two liter bottle which would be like 2-3 large sodas. So $0.33-$1.50 for a soda

So bun + meat + cheese ($0.25+$0.95+$0.12) = $1.32

Large fry $0.48

Soda $0.33

So for a couple of bucks you could eat something similar at home or drop like $13 after tax for the same thing at a fast food burger joint. It doesn't make sense to buy a fast meal deal at $13. At $5 maybe it's reasonable if you don't want to eat anymore cheeseburgers that week.

It always has to be or it wouldn't survive. One slip by the fast food industry where people stop going and it drops off and the whole thing will collapse. They know to the penny what they can and cannot do. You can have a $9 Big Mac as long as you have a $1 hamburger available.

It is but the quality has deteriorated A LOT.

James The Foodie · Accepted Answer

In my culinary adventures, I've noticed a similar trend in the fast food industry. Surprisingly, what was once valued for its speed and cost-effectiveness is now battling with longer waits and higher prices. It's ironic that sometimes a delightful meal at a sit-down restaurant offers more value and quality. The rise of healthy, fast-casual eateries is also reshaping the landscape. 🍔🥗 For me, the emphasis now is more on taste and experience rather than the speed of service.

matchrestore · Answer

There's a few more local fast food places that still make sense, but the national chains are all more expensive than a better meal at a real restaurant at this point.

DonaldDarko · Answer

I can afford it but I don't the big chains to be actually fit to eat. Burger King and Jack in the Box sell "milk shakes" that have no dairy in them at all. It tastes like dry wall mud with sugar in it. They recycle the frying oil over and over. It's gone beyond just "if you eat fast food you'll get fat". I actually wonder now if this stuff is even safe to eat.

exitseven · Answer

Fast food has gotten expensive over the last 4 or 5 years. There is not much difference between eating at Wendy's or McDonalds or eating at a halfway decent sit down restaurant. Sometimes I get takeout from a nice restaurant in town that is pretty reasonable and always has good food.

WhiteSteve · Answer

I’d say Chipotle and Chik-Fil-A are thriving HARD. Still definitely lots of traffic at Wendy’s, McDonald’s etc too. The sit-down restaurants have more turnover. We don’t have too much in the way of “healthy” takeout options, in reality. The only SweetGreens I know of is in the financial district in downtown Boston. Nothing in the suburbs.

People seem fatter, lazier, and more in search of quick gratification than ever, to be honest

mysteriousNicholas · Answer

Whoops I meant to write Yes and vote Yes

Fast food continues to remain popular here as America or UK/Europe.

However it may decline in another - what - 40 or less years 😘 then it'll all be Sushi and Seafood

lightbulb27 · Answer

It is no longer viable. Better off buying something from store and making yourself. Healthier and less costly.  Only exception is Taco bell... some mexican like burrito, chinese food...

Panthero80 · Answer

The "meal seals" are almost as expensive as a real restaurant.

AviatorTom · Answer

Fast food is still cheaper than food at a sit-down restaurant. I prefer eating at home, where prepared food is the cheapest, and the best quality.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Same here in my hosting country. Anyhow - food should not be ''economic'', but rather be feeding us well.

spartan55 · Answer

The $5 McValue menu is quite helpful during lean economic times.

jamesgoldman · Answer

Entry level they're about same but the good restaurants are more expensive

LiamJHayden · Answer

It is overpriced and generally unhealthy. For a few dollars more I can get freshly prepared healthy food or if I cook at home, healthy for far less.

RedInnocent69 · Answer

As we learn from Kitchen Nightmares and similar shows, with planning, fresh ingredients are better and cheaper, but you have to put in the work, and time is money

qwerty2469 · Answer

I wanted a snack and looked on Uber eats. What used to be the dollar menu was now 16 bucks plus tax, tip, amd fees. I made a peanubuter sandwich instead. Haven't eaten fast food in 3 months. Waste of money
