    You’re an idiot if you’re still eating fast food voluntarily. Might as well just take up smoking

      This isn’t the case for me (I’m just lazy sometimes), but some people genuinely don’t have the time. Think single parents with children and two+ jobs. It probably hurts to be unfairly lumped into a generalization like that when you’re doing everything you can for your family.

      I’m sure that wasn’t your intention; just wanted to offer my perspective.

        Sucks to be you, I guess. I’d rather live a long life without the bowel cancer and gout.

        Ironically, a lifetime of “there’s no time to prepare nourishing meals for my family!” will result in decades of health care that would have been preventable if people just made their family regular food. Not to mention the price of all that fast food could be used to save for something worthwhile. The whole “healthy food is too expensive” myth has been debunked time and again, and simply not having “time” is bull. There’s time to prepare meals instead of binging a crappy netflix show or whatever super important thing is preventing families from eating properly.

          You clearly are not in a two-person working family with kids (let alone a single parent situation) if you think there is enough time in the day to make sure your kids are getting their massive amounts of homework they are given every day finished after doing your “non-mandatory” overtime, keep the house clean, get the laundry done, get the bills paid and have time to cook dinner every night.

          It’s not a myth, modern society keeps everyone intentionally so busy that families do not have the time to do what you think is simple.

          When my daughter was in elementary school, you know how much time I had to binge crappy Netflix shows? Between zero and half of zero.

          So yeah, we go out and get a burger from Wendy’s sometimes. Call CPS on us.

            Yeah those 2 really seem like they’re unburdened. Hell, 1 of then wants to live longer! How insane is that?

              I’d like to live longer too. You know what doesn’t help you live longer? Stress. You know what causes stress? Not having enough time in the day to get everything done.
