    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 fast food joints, 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?

      Advertising and peer pressure as teens.

      You could feed a family of 4 for a week on the cost. It has no nutritive value in addition to no flavor. It’s like some type of dystopian government food paste.
