    I didn’t understand how McDonald’s is still in business until last week when a coworker said that it makes her feel good, like physically good. So I guess all of the salt and sugar they put in the food actually feels good for most people. It makes me feel disgusting, along with a strong sense of self-loathing over my choice to eat there. So, I haven’t been to McDonald’s in years. But there’s always a line of cars waiting at the drive through and a full parking lot.

      McDonald’s isn’t still in business because of any aspect of their food. They are still in business because it is a real estate company.

        Being a real estate company doesn’t get people to eat your food. If nobody ate their food they would cease to sell more real estate.

      Makes her feel physically good

      Brainwashing? After just a single hamburger, as small as it is vs how big I am, I feel like total garbage after. No other burger joint makes me feel like I overate when eating the biggest thing they sell; let alone the smallest.

        Right? That’s how I feel too. I can feel the impurities in my veins and it’s disgusting.

      Your body needs 3 major things to continue short term functioning.

      Water.

      Calories, preferably sugar, fat, and protein, in that order.

      Salt.

      Filling those needs is challenging to a species that hasn’t discovered nitrogen fertilizer. Fast food typically dehydrates their burgers, so you serve it alongside a soda and double down on the calories.

      i mean, mcdonalds does taste good and tasty food makes you feel good, but it doesn’t taste that good and i can make very comparably enjoyable food at home with not much effort for cheaper.

      I think those people just haven’t realized how easy basic cooking is.
