Ya can get away with a lot of shit but mess with peoples food and you will end up lashed to a cross. Ya dont fuck with the hierarchy of needs.
No one needs Micky Ds.
My point is people get pissed when you mess with available food options, its the principle of the matter. Since food is so important any amount of fucking with food will anger folks due to instinctual reinforcement.
Playing fast and loose with what constitutes food.
You are focusing way too much on the fact that its McDonald's. The point im making is largely seperate from the quality of said food, and is moreso focused on the fact that people dont generally like being cut off from different sources of food. We all catalog that shit either actively or passively, but if youre hungry and nothing else is available ya aint gonna care about quality.
Also I have eaten the fucking egg MRE, McDonald's is certainly closer to food than that abomination.
Fucking this. I once went on a week long "survivalist" camping trip. Your options for dinner were catching something yourself, or an MRE. Between the 5 of us that went, we caught exactly one rabbit the whole week.
We got a mountain of McDoubles(this was back when they were $1) on the way home and it was heavenly in comparison to that shite.
Oh you dont know the half of it. The egg MRE is one of the ones taken out of military rotation cause of how bad it is, for context Steve1989MRE gagged while eating one this is a man who ate Boar war proto ration and civil war hard tack.
I would rather eat a live rat than the egg MRE, no wonder the surplus place I got it from had a fucken warning on it and the dude at the counter made sure I wanted it three times.
I wouldn't wanna call that food. I don't feel bad for people who eat there.
Some people have it as their only choice due to living in a food desert. Imagine how fucked up is that.
If I recall correctly, food deserts tend to be located in areas where poor and/or minorities are located.
In either case, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, since only the poor would remain in a food desert, if you have money, you have options.
I would say it's more a of self-fulfilling curse.
