As far as I remember there was always an obsession and I have never been into eating garbage.

Fast food is great, but you know what, good for you for eating healthily (I assume).

Ever since I moved out I haven't been getting fast food, since people don't eat all the good food out of the fridge anymore. Idk why but I've had no desire for a whopper or Taco Bell.

I don't think that's exclusive to potd

I don't really ever eat fast food, personally. I had chikfila this week and it was my first fast food in months

Could you make something with the same net cost that most people would find tasty?

There's millions of dollars spent on fast food R&D to engineer tastiness. Texture, umami, sweetness, acidity, spice, saltiness, and novelty are all refined through test groups and experts (gastronomists)

I don't have a problem with hating fast food, as long as the hate isn't from somebody that can't make tasty foods themselves.

Because food is a cultural touchpoint, and fast food has chains across of america.
So if you want to say "this is as spicy as X" or "this is as good as X", the best reference point is a shared cultural touchstone.

Then, you have people having opinions on what's good, like what fries are best.

Anyway, xbox is bestbox why would anyone play that stinky ps3.

It has gotten more expensive and taste is subjective but how can you say it's not convenient?

It absolutely is in certain cases

Taste is subjective, so just because you dont like it doesnt mean others dont And enough people seem to buy it to already prove you wrong

Its definitely convenient since you dont have to worry about cooking something. Or having to go to the store to buy stuff And many have drive-thrus. I dont see how anyone can say they arent convenient at all

For cheap, it probably depends on what you get. Some stuff isnt super cheap. But its still pretty cheap compared to other stuff

Have you ever tried the cooking of somebody who doesn't like fast food? It tastes like tar flavoured jerky.

Ordering Takeout is more convenient and is actually good tasting food.

Something being more convenient somehow makes fast food not convenient?

Sunny just possessed me so he could tell you that 'fresh Taco bell' is an oxymoron.

It was a really gross experience.

It isn't the same though. There are savory things that aren't umami. Umami results from fermentation.
