    If fast food worker wages cannot sustain life then fast food is unsustainable and should die out. If fast food becomes as slow and/or as expensive as a restaurant meal then fast food is a market distortion that shouldn’t exist. Simple as.

      Not to mention ultra-processed foods and soft drinks are costing thousands of lives and billions of dollars of medical expenses per year. We have the fast food industry causing a health crises and a shitty ‘healthcare’ system perpetuating it.

      Around where I am, fast food is the same price as some restaurants and only a few dollars less than others. For the most part they are faster though, so maybe there’s a point for people to go. Also easier to sit at a fast food place for a bit rather than take up a table that a server needs to turn for a while.
