My son complains of the rising prices at McDonalds. He claims they’re way over priced for the faux food they serve.

I see the prices and wonder the same thing. How can people eat that crap and pay those prices? For the same or less you can get a nice sit down meal at Applebee's or similar. Heck, I could even buy the food and cook a better, more nutritious meal for 4 for the same as it costs to feed one teenager at McD's.

Are people in THAT much of a hurry? If so, they need to plan their time better. But I guess it's par for the course when you see people reading papers and talking on their cell phones while driving...to McDonald's et al.

It's a real head scratcher.

With wide open borders and the influx of third-world, un-immunized refugees, there will be in increase in communicable diseases. For this reason, and the fact that I can't afford it in zero's economy, I no longer eat at restaurants.

All my meat and produce come from the surrounding woods, my garden, or local suppliers.

Yes most people ARE in hurry. They eat to live not live to eat.
