With the increase in fast food pricing, are you eating less fast food?

@OogieBoogie yes but when fast food gets even more expensive then it is now maybe then they will learn to visit the grocery store more often

@Moneyonmymind Thanks for BA!

@Monaschandroff86 Yes. Very healthy for an old man.

@Fatalice so in other words you dont care to live for much longer?

My doctor puts my life expectancies as less than five years so I may as well eat what I want @Moneyonmymind

@Fatalice shame

@Wiseacre and are you thin

@Monaschandroff86 normal weight.

@Wiseacre ok

@robertsnj also true

@PatKirby I love five guys but I only go there now like 3 times a year 😂 as for everywhere else maybe like once every 2 weeks?

@Moneyonmymind

Sounds about right. I go to Five Guys about once a year, but Whataburger couple times a month. Even they've gone up big time too.

They think we're rich.

@PatKirby yes yes they do 😂

@Flenflyys yes

@Fatalice I bet your waist is slim and trim.

My waist is probably bigger than you are tall @Punches

I’m very large but happy with my feeder@Punches

@meggie fair enough

@FreestyleArt it’s humor that they make the healthiest things more expensive, no wonder why so many are fat

@Moneyonmymind yes they want us to eat junk food full of chemicals. It costs more to buy foods that leave out unhealthy ingredients like MSG, artificial food dyes, etc. People on a tight budget will buy the least expensive ones most of the time.

@Moneyonmymind yeah but I mean as slow as bussiness is for some of them, they cannot be profiting.
Especially gross ones like Arby's.

@Punches ohhhh yeah those places will most likely close in a few months or years but mcds looks like they’re thriving

@Moneyonmymind Yeah I was thinking that too. Grossest hamburger joint on the planet and people are lined up like it might be their last meal.

I mean for the kids, it is a five star high class luxury culinary experience but for us grown ups, we better bring a bottle of Pepto Bismol.

When I am traveling and it is the only place open, I usually just say "f*ck it" and spring for a delicious meal at the gas station's "Deli".

yeah I know...

@SatanBurger not easy..clerks are watching everybody.

@Wiseacre Oh I always found it easy but I haven't done it for awhile. I actually can't do it any other time, like I couldn't pick a pocket but I've always been fast with my hands. So what I do is ring up things so I'll pay for some things but I'll also act like I'll ring up things at the same time but really just put them in my bag. But I do it nearly at the same time I do something else so it's kind of hard to catch.

It's kind of like if you were juggling cups around on a table, and then you ask the person which one the coin is in. It's kind of the same motion.

I also purposely never keep receipts, actually it's kind of a habit because I hate having paper from too much junk mail so I can easily just say that excuse which would be true.

@SatanBurger wow, ur gutsy!

@Spoiledbrat I don’t think I’ll ever eat cereal again I watched something recently that said there’s a lot of nanoplastics in cereal

@Moneyonmymind what you might be interested to know is that many takeaway foods aremade with seed oils, canola etc....or worse, crisco.

Thing is, thse oils transform from polyunsaturated fats to trans fat at high temperatures, and repeated heating.

Your body uses fat to repair and make cells: everything from your blood and veins, to your kdneys, skin, brain etc.

Trans fats are weak chain fatty acids, they are basically crap for a building material for the body.
In fact, given both trans and good fats, the body will prefer to try to expell trans fats they are so bad.
But if its all it gets, it uses them .


And this is partly why people are having early onset heart disease, heart attacks, immune disorders, and congested arteries and such - bad building materials create weak cellular structure in the body 🤷

@nonsensiclesnail maybe it’s better that way

@AthrillatheHunt yes, I haven't been to a BK in like 3 years

@Starcrossed ahh

@ninalanyon I know. It's just burger buns at fast food places are inherently unhealthy. For example, the Third Pound Angus Burger at Carl's, Jr. When you get it with the bun, it has 56 carbs. Without the bun, 10 carbs.

Other fast food places have similarly carby bread, and if you research this, you'll find yourself asking why. There's a disturbingly simple reason. The bread is low quality and they know it, so they mix a ton of sugar into the dough. This gets you addicted to the product, even though it's shitty.

@LordShadowfire Subway in Ireland was taken to court by the tax authorities because bread is zero rated for VAT as it is a staple food. But Subway 'bread' has so much sugar that it counts as cake which is not a staple so it is not zero rated and they should have been paying VAT (a kind of sales tax).

Years ago I was working in the US for three months so I took my family with me. Even my children complained that everything was too sweet. When we visited one of my colleagues at his home his wife was very surprised when my children asked for water to drink.

By the way what are the units in your '56 carbs'?

@ninalanyon Grams. For everything diabetic, I measure in metric for the sake of precision.

I'm not the slightest bit surprised that happened to Subway. A footlong sandwich of theirs is 120 g of carbohydrates.

@LilPrincess good

@Fatalice you have no shame huh?

Not any more@Moneyonmymind

@Jenny1234 for some yes it’s very American

@SooperSarah same here

@Pretzel sure is and quality has surely dipped most of the time

@Roundandroundwego You cannot really enjoy something if it is over priced.

@Mordechai Whoa, peak times prices…never heard of that one.

@justanothername true

@OogieBoogie 😂 not at all

@Moneyonmymind I hope you have a good reason.

@StygianKohlrabi trying to cut back on fast food that’s the only reason!

@Moneyonmymind it's sorta like a cheat meal

@SW-User XD fair enough

@Atlotto I used to eat it a lot now not as much

@Moneyonmymind I love going to Jimmy the Greek when I can

@iamonfire696 never heard of it!

@Moneyonmymind it’s in Canada, maybe that’s why?

@LordShadowfire just myself sir.

@Moneyonmymind Well, there you go. I'm feeding three people, one of whom insists on a bunch of sugar-free snackies in the house at all times to keep him from going in and eating an entire can of kidney beans when he has the munchies. You don't want to know what our weekly grocery bill is.

@LordShadowfire in the hundreds im sure

@LordShadowfire ive never been there, its to my understanding they are only on the west coast, im in the east

@Moneyonmymind On the East Coast, they're called Hardee's.

Don't get me wrong, even though prices have changed, I still love them. They're the only place whose burgers look like they do on TV.

@NinaTina that’s good

@NinaTina your 🚽 thanks you

@MethDozer I feel like the only thing I really look forward to on their menu is the fries. They do something different with them.

The other thing I'll do is kind of off menu. A McChicken and a McDouble, take off the bottom bun of each, and smush them together. That's the only thing I would consider still somewhat of a treat there.

@LordShadowfire the McD’s hash brown is the best thing to ever happen to a potato .

@AthrillatheHunt Okay, yeah, you're right.

@Musicman that’s good
