    Yeah but you’re missing the point. It costs the same, and I’m wrecked from work and don’t have time or energy to cook, so I’ll take the fast food every time

      How is BK cheaper, they are so expensive? It’s like 5.99 for a whopper. Or is this something like feeding your family the 280 calories saver burger which is £1.50?

      Ok, but that’s still a personal choice, you could cook but chose not to. If you gain weight or health issues from your diet that’s not societies fault.

        work requires long hours to get by

        doesn’t have the time to make food from scratch every day

        entirely their fault

        ???

        Not to mention the cost of electricity has skyrocketed in recent months, so cooking (esp. using an oven) is massively expensive.

        I cook my own stuff from scratch, but that’s because I have a job that I can work from home for, and that I can flex hours with. But I have the empathy to recognise that I’m privelaged in that regard.
