I don’t get it.

I’ve tried McDonalds food.

It’s more expensive than much better alternatives, it doesn’t look good, and it tastes worse, like the cheapest ultraprocessed crap you can find in the kind of budget supermarket that only carries foreign brands you’ve never heard of.

I can find better and cheaper food in seedy bars I’d never willingly go to, or by buying the cheapest brands (even the good brands, or buying natural ingredients, wouldn’t be significantly more expensive) and cooking at home.

It really boggles my mind. Is it like smoking? Do people start eating it due to peer pressure and never stop because they get addicted?
