I was going to cut out a bit of that but I left your
entire rant quoted. I must have made you mad. lol

In this group, it seems to only be one extreme vs another.

Your post talks like I eat fast food all the time. Just
because I like the stuff doesn't mean that. Get real.
I normally will buy fast food 3-4 times a year.
Haven't bought any in 2020 so far.

I rarely get fast food but when I do, I don't
apologize for it or consider it a retro back to the dark ages.
It's just a good occasional treat for me.

You even finished your rant with a lecture about learning
to cook and eating better food. LOL.

"Settle down, Beavis."











You just did this above.
