I will admit that assuming you have never faced hardship like that is not fair. Maybe you have, and maybe you handled it differently.
Still, its disrespectful to make someone feel bad for feeding their family Taco Bell. Maybe they didn’t have time or the knowledge to cook food for that cheap.
Taco Bell is as good an option as any other cheap fast food place. None of them are healthy or anything, and that’s not the point. The point is that they are cheap and quick, and sometimes that’s what people need. Nobody should feel bad about it, including yourself.
Lets face the reality: Most people just don’t care. They are not going to feel bad or good, they just know that they did something they consider fast and cheap. Very few people are going to feel bad.
I would, mostly because I have an idea what goes into their food, and I know you are getting what you pay for: there are better options.
But I also have an idea of what the effect of a global race to the bottom from a company like Yum! Brands results in. They own 58,000 restaurants, a training company, a marketing insights company, and a delivery company. Supporting a global conglomerate to supply “cheap” non healthy addictive food should make anyone take pause. They also drive out other options, and feed into the system where we do not have time or energy to make our own food. Fast food at this scale is a pretty nasty with consequences beyond the price at the till.
So in a discussion about a boringdystopia, I am told to get off my high horse.
Yep. So here we are.
This is why it’s fucked up. Like my other comment, it’s shitty food. People shouldn’t have to resort to it. But instead it spreads like cancer. And people then downvote me for saying it.

Get off your high horse bud.
