Not buying the low income excuse, when I was on low income I would have loved to have enough money to be able to afford fast food every day. If I had been doing that I wouldn't have been able to afford rent.
I don't go to mcdonalds but just looked up their prices. A single "big arch" (wtf is that? first thing on the menu) for £10, about the same as a weeks worth of food with the sort of things I was getting poverty shopping.
When was this? Because of seriously doubt it cost £10 for a McDonald's meal back in in 2004. That would have been $20USD at a time when you could still get a Big Mac from the dollar menu
It was a few hours ago, poverty shopping would also have been cheaper in 2004.
So back when Super Size me came out, you could easily feed a family of 4 for like $10. Now McDonald's is as much as getting a burger from a sit down restaurant and takes forever because they have transitioned to doing Doordash for whatever reason
I eat more food in a week than 4 people do for a single meal, so the same would apply. Plus buying ingredients to make food would also have been cheaper back then.
