In the last 12-24 months the price of fast food in particular has risen at a higher rate than inflation has hit other types of food and goods. Fast food makes no economic sense anymore.
And you're right, the food has gotten worse as well.
What economic sense does fast food ever make? You're paying a premium for a convenience.
It made sense to pay less money for lower quality prepared food. Now the price is comparable to better food.
Paying for convenience does make sense if you value the convenience.
Fast food is gut wraughting
