It isn't even better because you can't compare them, it makes no sense to because the flavor profile, cooking process, and the point of it is all different.

a big mac combo is, on average, $8.50
you can bake a loaf of bread with a few cents worth of ingredients and buy $8 worth of beef
wa la
even if you buy a decent cheese and go over the price of a single big mac meal, the price of each individual sandwich you make will be significantly less than that of a big mac meal

algorithium started pushing nonwhites to the top around 2018 or so. if you are part of the right racial group you get free views even if someone else is doing better content. its all an incestous nepotism circle jerk at this point. See the old twitter verification meme if you want an indepth tear down of how the entire industry works at this point.

You can make better burgers with cheap generic 20% fat hamburger meat from the grocer, some buns, and a grill than McD's has ever made in their company's history. Even if you get the pre-pattied shit and do the absolute minimum, to include using kraft cheese (instead of some good cheddar), it will STILL be better, and cheaper.

Now the fries... that is hard to beat as a home cook.

You don't need to grind your own wagyu to beat McD like this fag tells you to.

Hamburgers are basically handed to you at the grocer literally as patties and ready for the pan or grill. Some are even seasoned for you. It is not hard to put a burger in a pan, cook one side, flip it, and cook the other. You add cheese at the last minute to melt it, and toasting the bun is optional. You get a hot and ready burger in like 5 min tops.

Yeah if you grind your own shit and bake your own buns of course that is 5 hours of your day lost. But that is only if you want to experience custom-made burgers that transcend time and space for flavor. For the average fuck, the grocer has made it too easy to make burgers. You just cook and assemble them. All ingredients are available pre-cut ready to use.

Anon I did it while taking 21 college credits and working a part time job. Baking bread requires almost no active work, especially if you have a mixer. Honestly the most bullshit and labor intensive thing in a kitchen is processing vegetables. Washing, drying, chopping consumes such a massive amount of time that you're almost always better off just spending a little extra for pre washed chopped and bagged.
