MYOB. If your life's purpose is trying to convince others to act as you think they should you're going to have a very bitter, unfullfilling life.

It's a few things:

-Food prepared at home is typically less... powerful... in flavor. If you stop eating fast food for a while and then run to Taco Bell, it's like getting punched in the mouth by a savory, greasy bag of salt. If you're used to Taco Bell, it can be hard to season up to your palate.

-Fast food requires almost no effort and is consistent in quality and quantity.

-It can be difficult to cook for one without being overly wasteful or producing far too many leftovers.

-Fast food is very quick and doesn't take up precious time that could be better utilized by sitting around waiting for something interesting to happen.

-Fast food is just like mom used to order and bring home before sitting you in front of the TV until bedtime.

well said...now I want a chalupa

Yeah, I worked there in 1995 and so. They fry them on big clamshell grills, stick them in steamers, then make to order on a prep table then nuke them in extremely overpowered industrial/commercial microwave ovens.

yeah i worked in high school/college.

when i was in highschool we made them fresh. latter in college i went back and they would fry them up put them in a warmer then teh microwave.

i was faster at makeing them fresh then pulling them out of the microwave and then serving them up. Also they were 100% better

LOL! No wonder so many think food is manufactured rather than grown. It's OK to cultivate bad habits as long as you know they're bad habits.

While I pretty much agree with the OP, I'll say he has a difficult task trying to find converts here among ATOT who time and time again has proven to be a population that is largely (not entirely) ignorant about food, conservative, racist, completely unconcerned with style or self-appearance ...

I eat my own home made meals 79 times out of 80 and thoroughly enjoy them. My family all did as well growing up, ordering pizza or going out was a very rare treat. Perhaps it has something to do with what you were raised on? When I was active still in jobs, I got a subway sub once a day at least, which seemed to me just as healthy as eating at home, and indeed it was, so not all fast food is a bad thing. Even when I worked at McDonald's and Hardee's I barely ate there - to this day I can only stand a few things from either place.

I already know I am an unusual woman, but I don't think I am so unusual in these habits/tastes. I don't understand people liking the crap that for example mcdonald's and hardee's serves. I do infrequent taco bell and dairy queen, but at taco bell, I get one of the more healthy items there, the grilled stuft burrito, which is not as good as home made food, but is much more nutritious then most of the other foods there - I get it though because I love how it tastes, and dairy queen has very nice salads and wonderful ice cream. Again both are a rare treat for me.

All things aside, you're fooling yourself if you think a GSB is healthy. See this comparison to a Burrito Supreme


Regular Style Burrito Supreme® - Beef
420cal 17g fat
Regular Style Grilled Stuft Burrito - Beef
680cal 30g fat

 

[jaqie]

Have you looked at what else is in it? no? I figured not. I said it was not too healthy, I also said it was a rare thing to get. Why do people pick out one or two words out of an entire post and ignore the rest of the post? read the post before quoting it ffs.

Funny, I eat a lot of burgers and a high beef diet and I'm far from fat and disgusting.

Funny how fat America became AFTER the low fat diet craze started.

Thanks to this post I went to McDonald's for some french fries during lunch.

Do you get nosebleeds up on that pedestal you've put yourself on? :roll:

The elitism on this forum is just pathetic. And it's nearly eclipsed by the busybody meddling.

 

[Deeko]

Worst rant ever.

In the words of The Princess Bride; "I do not think that word means what you think it does."

e·lit·ism or é·lit·ism (-ltzm, -l-)
n.
1. The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.
2.
a. The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class.
b. Control, rule, or domination by such a group or class.

I believe all guests deserve favored treatment by virtue of their being guests. The only entitlement I enjoy is the right to question people's eating habits based on my profession and interests.
