I know alot of ppl like this in real life. Alot of ppl will make fun of a fast food places, Walmart etc. And these same ppl spend their money there in real life. lol

So because some imagined percentage of people are probably hypocrites, the greater point becomes invalid? Sure, people lie about their behavior all the time. Should we stop discussing human behavior then? Or is this fast food specific?
 
I love the relationship between the nutrition and cost of food at Taco Bell.

As the cost goes down so does the nutrition!

TACO BELL: Come try our new Loaded Nacho Taco! It's like our normal indigestion-causing soft taco that you already love... but we then add deep-fried tortilla chips that have been died red by the same stuff we use to paint the curbs outside... then in addition the shredded cheese already on it, we add generous amount of nacho cheese that was freshly scooped out of a dented tin can stored on a shelf with spiders. Only $1.

I mean... it's delicious, but still...

Well you get what you pay for. I mean what do people expect for $1? Do the match, take away the taxes and the cost for the rent of the place and the wages, marketing and franchising, how much is left to pay for meat? And this goes for every food you buy cheap.

This makes me feel old. I remember sneaking out of high school with my friends to eat at Taco Bell and I think the crunchy tacos were $0.49 and the soft tacos were $0.59. They might have been $0.10 higher, can’t remember.

This also makes me really hungry. Taco Bell is clearly garbage but also my guilty pleasure. IDK why, it makes no sense. And yes, I’ve had good tacos. I will go out of my way for good tacos. But sometimes you just gotta be a little trashy, especially late at night when nothing is open. I’m so tempted to get some right now but I’ve been on a diet for the past month and hitting it hard with my Apple Watch and have lost over 15lbs so I can’t ruin it now! This sounds so good though.

When I was young we used to drive to the American Army Base an hour away from our place just to get to the food area and get some Taco Bell food. That was the only Taco Bell available in Germany. You had to change US Dollars and try your best english when ordering. We knew the food was garbage but it felt like vacation in the states. Once you enterd the gate to the Army Base everything was American, the newspaper machine, the phone booth, the big cars, the hydrants looked like in the movies, military people walking around, that was all kinda cool. That was way before the gulf wars when ordinary people could get in. Man I am getting old...

I don't see why they would spend their money there. I don't patronize low end fast food joints or Walmart, so why would some other group of people, necessarily? I don't make fun of people who do choose to patronize those places, but that's hardly relevant to your point.
