I remember it was like candy when I as kid. I guess its not a surprise considering how much fat and sugar is in everything.
But yeah, I wonder the same thing all the time. It must have to do with the fact that people don’t really understand exactly why its bad for you and what it does. They just know its “bad”, which isn’t enough to stop you. Just ask any teen and all the stuff their parents label as “bad”.
But I’ve learned all about fast food and even though it is tasty, my education has given me zero desire to eat there.
P.S. If you think its cheap, just calculate the related health care costs.
