Is there some odd concerted effort by elites to stop people from eating fast food? Or is this a canary in the coal mine for Weimar 2.0?

I only use coupons from the mail at Burger King
At McDonalds I only get the $5 meal (good value)
Everything else is a ripoff and McDonalds coupons suck last I checked; they're all Buy One Get One Free for huge burgers that I could only eat one of

Commie Don just topped up niggers EBT cards and gave them a tip expect the price of slop to tripple.

>>510324085
tallow, lard, and real butter and significantly healthier than over processed Sneed Oils. Doesn't mean you need to deep fry everything though.

>>510323682 (OP)
canary in the gold mine 100%
or at the very least, a clear sign that the food economy is shifting drastically.
I do find it funny how alot of mega businesses are starting to see extreme shrinkage in profits. maybe dont squeeze 90% of the country for every drop they're worth if you want them to continue to consoom.

>>510324206
Settle down anon, can I have a moment to take a shit? Now what are you all upset about?

>>510324304
>they're all Buy One Get One Free for huge burgers that I could only eat one of
I am revoking your American citizenship unless you eat two burgers right fucking now.

>>510324559
Nice Eglin meme lol.

>>510323682 (OP)
I read that as 14 pound burgers and thought that’s not a bad deal

Too bad it doesn’t say that

>>510323682 (OP)
texas double whopper is when you're being tag-teamed by two texans

>>510324530
There was actually a time in American history where people cared about monopolies and actually tried to stop them. Today? You can have the monopolized cartel staring you right in the face and no one cares. We are beaten down like dogs

>>510324751
Only queers and steers come from Texas

>>510324904
very true, sadly.
honestly more people need to just stop eating slop and more home cooking.
well, theres alot of damn things people need to do they're not... only thing that give me even a modicum of hope is the 'youth' left and right alike show heavy signs of simply being put up with all the shit. but they seem to already be too disheartened to do anything and seem at best to just hope they can squeeze out enough time to make a move once all the boomers die off.
probably wont end well for them there.

>>510324904
hmm looks familiar

>>510323682 (OP)
It's only going to get worse due to tariffs

>>510323682 (OP)
I can literally get a hamburger and fries at longhorn for less than that plus the fresh bread loaf and butter on top for free.

>>510323682 (OP)
Damn bro. 39 bucks for a basic lunch.
This is crazy!!

>>510323682 (OP)
Damn I just bought components for 4 burgers on brioche buns with cheddar cheese and pickles at trader Joe's for my family of four and it was $18. I already had an avocado because I have a tree. I fed my little shits and wife for $20 in 2025.

>>510325522
I ate huge burritos all week.
Total cost about $40
>2 tenderloin steaks $20
>tortillas $3
>bag of onions $2
>couple cans of refried BEANS $4
>sour cream $3
>bag of shredded cheese $3
>Ortega sauce $3
It was fucking delicious too

>>510325750

It is not the tariffs, it's the inflation and interest rates.

>>510326075
i usually just have chicken and green beans for lunch and steak and baked potato for dinner.
i buy big chuck roasts and such and chop them into my own steaks, much much cheaper and honestly if you know what you're doing just as good.

>>510323682 (OP)
Not really they think they can become a high end resturant with their slop and charge the same prices as a Resturant does.

>>510323682 (OP)
a lb of 70/30 is nearly 7 dollars

>>510326265
Broccoli with cheese sauce is good and very cheap. Same with Brussel sprouts if you know how to prepare them.
I barely spend any money when I'm at home and feel like I eat like a king

>>510323682 (OP)
>keep seeing whopper ads
it's ogre, you win rbi inc, you win, I'll get one on my way home

>>510323682 (OP)
Not due to health concerns, but "they" might want more people working making artillery shells for WW3 rather than flipping burgers.

>>510326491
eh, I just have very simple and limited tastes.
I can also do BBq and burgers pretty well, even have been told i make excellent pizza (dough and sauce from scratch), those just take more time so i dont do them often. I do think its all way damn better than most restaurants tough yeah.

>>510323682 (OP)
Basically, profit margins for fast food for really bad recently, mostly due to inflation and the price of gas skyrocketing. Has hits fast food in particular hard because their supply chain is colossal just by volume.
This pushes them into an awkward price range where they don't really pass as "affordable" anymore, even if relatively speaking they're still the cheap option. People who want cheap food just stop going out.

Their solution was to try and rebrand their fast food as a soft-luxury. Basically abandoning their traditional poorfag market and instead try to bait in the foodies who are still out spending money on this shit economy.

It's failed horribly by the way, to the extent that McDonald's might not survive as a brand if it can't course correct. All of the fast food places that tried this same experiment lost a lot of money over it. But the heart of the problem is that the price of food has been high globally since Russia invaded and torched one of the largest food exporters in the world, and the price of gas has been fluctuating in extremes the whole time that shits been going on in the middle east. These two economic realities make it very hard for food service to be profitable right now.

>>510323682 (OP)
who says they're stopping? the peasants are addicted to fast food and they will pay the high prices regardless.

>>510323682 (OP)
I dont understand. I could care less.

Is our prosperity based on how much cheap unhealthy food we can shove down our pie holes

>>510323682 (OP)
that burger has enough calories to feed an adult for a day.
so spare me your tears, faggot OP.
if anything, the price of food in america has been deflated for the past 50 years.

>>510323682 (OP)
no it's the other way round
the elites want you to eat fast food
the fast food corporations make money off the high price you pay for it
the medical corporations make money off the treatments for the resulting diabetes and coronary complications

>>510323682 (OP)
Ill go ahead and let you in on some secrets. As a business owner in Food. I took the most popular 10 items based on google and sell them. Chicken, Fries, Ramen, etc. Its all basic bitch shit i can cook and throw under lamp

The problem is places like McDonalds, Burger king have turned into literally everything they came from.

Simplicity. Service. Taste.

Dave Thomas said people only remember 3 things. The first and last bite of their hamburger and the price.

These places have turned too ridiculous menu offering. Wraps, Gourmet burgers, chicken fingers, fish. Its all bullshit .You look at what made these places great it was simplicity. Burger, Milkshake, fries. Literally the operations are too complex. The wait too long. The ingredients to expense.

Only one fast food place is still at their roots. In and Out. And guess what? Their prices and service are the best.

Simplicity is the key. Fast food will die if it does not return

>>510327454
>that burger has enough calories to feed an adult for a day.
and yet it won't bring any satiation (by design), so the typical person will also order a coke, fries, dessert on the side.

>>510327643
retard. McDonalds is vastly more popular than in and out. they have restaurants all over the world. it's not dying any time soon because people are addicted. they will line up and pay for the overpriced food.

>>510324904
You don't know what a monopoly is.

>>510323682 (OP)
You can still get a spicy chicken sandwich at Popeye's for $4.99. That doesn't seem too bad.

>>510327643
>In and Out. And guess what? Their prices and service are the best.

Double-Double combo at my local In-N-Out is ten bucks. Best deal out there.

>>510324085
There is literally nothing inherently wrong with fried potatoes

>>510328476

>>510325745
