    I started living this way too. Honestly, fast food doesn’t even have a value proposition anymore. It’s not cheaper than some local family run taco or burger truck/shack, and significantly crappier. Also, the lady or guy handing you your food keeps the money after paying the cook and what not, if they’re not the cook themselves. I’d rather that than it go to frozen patty distributors and stock buybacks or whatever they’re up to these days.

    It’s marginally cheaper than a run of the mill sit down joint.

    Also soda… I don’t understand why anyone drinks that shit. I used to, then I stopped, and now when I try it it’s gross honestly. Syrup with bubbles in it. You want some, make some ginger ale, its easy and delicious. You cut up some ginger, cook it in a pot with sugar and water, let it cool, put it in a pressure bottle and pitch yeast, it’s ready in a couple of days.

    I’ve never ordered door dash or any of that stuff, as soon as I heard about it o was put off by the idea.

    You’ve got the right idea man. No lazy food. If it’s not worth effort you’re not actually hungry.

      Where I am “fast food” big chain stuff is only a buck or two cheaper than the good local brewery sit down place. It’s weird.
