I’m actually pretty OK with this. Portion sizes were generally kinda oversized, especially for not-so-healthy fastfood.

You say you’re OK with it, but are you also OK with the constant price hikes for less shitty food?

That’s a good question, answer is generally that it depends. Do I want to spend more money on stuff? Of course not.
But if the price is the same or negligibly more, then I’m better off not incurring the bodily damage of consuming excess calories. The smaller the default size of the suggested meal (eg, a combo) the better, unless it hits the point where it makes me order a second meal or extra sides.
That preference reflects my own privilege and lack of self-control though. I know it’s a different call for everyone.

I am, helped break my junk food addiction. Now I never pay for it.

If you eat at McDonald’s you deserve everything you get.
