78% of Americans Now Think of Fast Food Meals as a ‘Luxury’

[Natural Citizen]

its getting to the point bar food is cheaper,,

I am going this weekend to a bar in sugarcreek where you can get either a big tenderloin sammich or chickenfried steak with all the fixens for under 20 bucks with a beer

Bar food can be pretty darned good.

And people here, some leftoids try and claim the economy is good.

They lie like a Biden. Why?

​

When asked whether they agreed with the statement, “fast food has gotten more expensive, and I now view it as a luxury,” more than three-quarters of respondents said yes. Additionally, just under two-thirds of survey respondents (65%) said they had been "shocked" by a recent high bill at a fast food restaurant, and that percentage jumped to 72% among parents who had children under the age of 18. ​

​

“The results make clear, regardless of the context, that most Americans now see fast food as a luxury,” North Carolina-based LendingTree found. “That’s a new phenomenon. Yes, there have always been groups of Americans who might have viewed fast food that way because of their financial struggles. However, for the vast majority of Americans to feel that way seems like a significant cultural shift, and a troubling sign.” ​

I have stopped in to long john silvers and just got a piece of fish and cracklins to get me by a few hrs,,

last time I did that it cost me over 3 bucks,,

.

That actually sounds like a good snack.

It is like we are so deeply afraid of having to feel the pangs of a little hunger for just an hour, until dinner is on the table.

Being Catholic, I can guarantee that fasting a little sharpens my appetite for the REAL FOOD.

.

I'm pretty sure a very large percentage of people in the US have never really been hungry.

Why would anyone over the age of ten want to eat that crap anyway? Cooking for yourself at home is cheaper, healthier, and one gozillion times better tasting. People need to stop being so lazy.

All fast food is not unhealthy, and people should not be cooking when they do not know how, or do not have time.

there is Salata, this salad kitchen always starts fresh

there is Salad and Go
Mozzarella, Basil Pesto, Pico de Gallo, Croutons, Romaine, Mixed Greens, Chicken or Tofu Paired with Balsamic Vinaigrette (210 Cal) & Basil Pesto

a meal at wendys is 16-18 bucks,,

just got back from dinner,,

an open faced beef sammich and chicken fried chicken with all the fixens and two beers came out to 36 bucks minus tip,,

my wife told me when we were there that when she goes to sonic for burgers and shakes it comes out to about 45 bucks,,

other than the time it takes to wait for hot good food theres no debate about which is the better choice,,

When both adults in the household have to work 40 hours a week...somethings gotta give.

Liberal elites are obviously out of touch with workin' folk...as usual.

An on-line survey using a nonprobability-based sample is basically worthless.

But hey, it tells you what you want to hear, so here we are.

Sort of like your graphs in your next two posts.

It is copied directly from the fucking poll in the OP.

But of course you did not even bother to open said poll, just as they knew you would not.

Doing so take independent thought, which leaves you out.

You mean the ones copied directly from the poll site....how embarrassing for you.
