Not buying the low income excuse, when I was on low income I would have loved to have enough money to be able to afford fast food every day. If I had been doing that I wouldn’t have been able to afford rent.
I don’t go to mcdonalds but just looked up their prices. A single “big arch” (wtf is that? first thing on the menu) for £10, about the same as a weeks worth of food with the sort of things I was getting poverty shopping.
You may not know this but when it was made McDonald’s was vastly cheaper than it is today. Double cheeseburgers were just a single dollar. It’s somewhat difficult to achieve a multi ingredient hot meal for that price with groceries and it requires doing meal prep and reheating. Today’s McDonald’s is way more expensive which completely invalidates the case for eating it at all outside the breakfast menu (actual eggs).
Not inflation, the price has increased far beyond the inflation rate as McDonald’s struggled to stay profitable and adjusted their strategy and posture (mccafe era).

I am aware of inflation
