I've almost completely eliminated fast food from my diet (Taco Bell is the only one I will go to on occasion because it really is its own genre of food. I love me some real Mexican food, but I also love Taco Bell. They are different things) because it has gotten so goddamn expensive.
At this point, I can spend another $3 and go to a local place with fresh cooked food that is 1000% better, and then have enough leftovers for two more meals.
The only reason it ever made sense to get fast food, historically, was that it was dirt cheap. I remember when Chick-fil-a value meals were $5-6. That price has increased by like 150% in ~10-15 years.
And in the same time, the wages that they pay have dropped relative to inflation.
