It's pretty nasty. Even as a kid I hated it and begged my dad to take me to Burger King or something instead. There's just something unnatural about those "burgers." I know, most fast food places have all kinds of unnatural and unholy things, but McDonald's is the worst of all of them. I can't even force myself to eat it when I'm starving. Feel like I'm going to gag every time I eat it

>> No.10828805

depends entirely on your social circle. I've had friends who were snobs about it and refused to eat there, even laughed at me when I did, and friends who eat there quite frequently and enjoy it for what it is. Guess which friends were more fun to hang around/better people in general?

In fact I only know one person who actually eats there, and he regrets it every time. He pops in whenever he has a craving for cheeseburgers and every single time he finishes he mopes for a second and complains "man that's never as good as I expect it to be, why do I do this"

If not liking McDonalds makes you snooty, then "snooty" is a pretty low bar. I honestly don't know any friends/family who routinely eat McDonalds as normal/everyday food. If you're not poor as fuck and you know how to cook, there's just hardly any appeal. I cook from home for my wife most of the time, and we only go out to eat maybe once every 2-3 weeks, so I'm sure as hell not wasting that rare occasion on Mickey D's. Unless you're a child or you still eat like a child, McDonald's exists for emergencies when you're on long trips, and for shitfaced McNugget runs.

it's not healthy if you buy the wrong things, of course. they do offer water and hamburgers. it's just everything else on their menu that sucks.
Soda, ice cream/flurries, fried chicken (nugget/strip/salad form), pancakes, eggs
but my two patties, slice of cheese, and a bun clocks around 300 calories. and their water is great because they have the wide straws

Who Is Eating At McDonald’s These Days?
25% of Americans eat some type of fast food every day during the week.
52%. That’s the percentage of Americans who believe that doing their taxes is easier than figuring out how to achieve healthier eating habits.
Only 3 in 10 Americans believe that all sources of calories play an equal role in weight gain.
Americans consume 31% more packaged food than fresh food.
57% of the 18-29 age demographic say they eat at McDonald’s at least once per week.
20% of all American meals are eaten in the car, spending 10% of their income on fast food.
Nearly 110 million Americans have visited a McDonald’s restaurant in the past month at least one time.
44% of Americans say that they’ll eat fast food at least one time per week. 6% of people say that they eat fast food 7x per week.
Despite these facts, 76% in the U.S. think the food served in fast-food restaurants is “not too good” or “not good at all for you,” but still eat there.
Just 2% of people in a Gallup survey said food like what McDonald’s serves is “very good for you.”
Men are more likely than women to eat fast food at least weekly: 53% vs. 42%.
57% of men 18-49 will eat at least one fast food meal per week.
Households that make more than $75k per year are just as likely to eat once per week at McDonald’s as households that earn less than $50k.
39% of households with an annual income of less than $20k eat at least once per week at McDonald’s.

McDonalds is a treat for your kids after they go shoe shopping at the mall or they finish their swim lessons. Or if you just happen to be near one and there's no other place to have lunch.

Actually getting in the car for the sole purpose of driving to mc donalds for a sit-down meal is like the dumbest thing I could imagine. Like just buy a bunch of frozen burgers and fry one. It's quicker and it costs way less and you don't need to leave your bugbox.

Unironically, without meming, it's because of boomers. Gen X kids grew up eating a lot of very bland food (overly steamed vegetables for one), because their boomer parents inherited how to cook from their parents who grew up with nothing and only knew how to make food that'll keep you alive because they lacked any spices or seasoning.

It's the same reason cartoons still push the stereotype of kids hating vegetables, because the people who wrote those cartoons grew up when vegetables were bland as well.

It's definitely a matter of where you live and your social class. If you live in a rural place where the middle class still eats at McDonald's then you might think it's snobby not to.
