The ridiculous cost of fast food now

[FireArm]

washingtons extra tax on fast food is ridiculous, I ended up just driving back into Oregon to grab something.

 

[Jay Walk]

I spent ZERO on fast food in the month of April.
May will be the same amount.

Eff them and stay healthy at the same time.

That's just going to push fast food places to go to full automation even sooner. I need to stop giving a bubblegum. Too much give-a-bubblegum makes MikeJ a dull boy.

As I like to tell people, *mimes phone call* "That was the Bank of F**ks. Your account is in overdraft."

Late to this party but I say don't eat that crap. No nutritional value and detrimental to your health.

Lol, "breadless" but literally encased in fried bread.

One of these is almost 1k calories, and look at those fat numbers. Holy bubblegum.

When you're on a VERY high calorie diet, like in my executive protection days I was doing six grand a day in winter, that's a GOOD thing.

Yeah, high calorie diets make sense when you're bulking or burning the fires with a ton of cardio, but you want those calories to come from clean sources, definitely not fast food.

Yeah BABY! But that chicken breast inside that thing is pure protein!

Better yet, get yourself a small deep fryer and a couple chicken breasts (about the cheapest protein out there these days) and cook at home!
Heck of a concept!

Exactly. Good clean calories, not salty fat soaked ones. Fast food sucks. The taste isn't even all that good.

When my father was in hospice, he used to sneak beer and liquor even though he wasn't supposed to. He was a lifelong alcoholic. He would tell me "I only drink because I like the taste" which was BS of course. I always thought that was a really immature answer. Grown adults should be able to control what they put in their bodies with better decision making than "It tastes good".

The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Lemme tell you, after almost a year on keto that Olive Garden lasagna on my 40th birthday tasted better than ever before knowing that I had EARNED IT...

Yes, once in a while is no big deal. But the daily sack of grease for lunch? I see people do that and it makes me feel ill.
