prices have more than doubled even at fast food chains.

McDonalds is nearly 20 buck for a few hamburgers, fries, and a drink

That’s a lot to pay for a bowel clean out…

Yeah but employees with a bad attitude not treating customers equally by race makes up for all that right? 😂

Also, lots of people are on weight loss drugs. I’m wondering if that is impacting how much people go out to eat.

The really crushingly ironic thing is that all the major fast food places would be where you could reliably get something substantial for just a few bucks-— these places were an absolute BOON in lower income babes with a high black p[opulation-—gradually these menus changed and what used to be the half dozen cheap staples got squeezed out onto a special cheapo value menu” off on the side. Meanwhile every conceivable “Combo” of burger, fries, chicken, etc. with meaningless high-profit extras like chips, and drinks were thrown into the mix.The price tags expanded dramatically with this concept of the “combo” Remember seeing a TV thing at least 15 years ago where a largish Hispanic family (maybe 3 kids, mom and dad) would pile into their car, and load up at the drive-in window for mass-produced dreck and expect to pay $35 or more-—it’s even more $$ now,. A sad state of affairs-—far better to get creative and do your cooking at home, “family-style” getting them involved in the economics of “food” and taking care of themselves and each other-—that’s the way it should be.
