A millennial family member was ranting about eating breakfast at McDonalds being unhealthy

You've included:

1. Critique about one particular generation (millenials).

2. Defense of a position most people know isn't right (eating fast food).

3. Added an extra draw for those minded to take the bait (foreign extraction).

Conclusion: Troll level 1. You've hit all the points, but the topic isn't that interesting.

Millenial family member sounds insufferable.

Who dafuq holds court and makes proclamations like this, even if they're right?

BTW, the occasional McDonald's breakfast isn't going to kill you.

Its not healthy, but in a pinch, something like an egg McMuffin is fine. It's got a reasonable number of calories.

They’re closing it because it’s cheap, convenient, tasty to them, or fast, and those are more important to them than the health benefits or lack thereof. I don’t see the point of ranting about it but saying McD’s is healthy because you happen to know an 80-year-old who likes it seems like a weird conclusion.

2. Why is the ranter’s generation even relevant here?

One 80 year old?

McDonalds is filled with 80 year olds. Daily. All 50 states.

Not trolling. Your fellow millennial had no answer. Just admit it.

Why does everything have to be attributed to being of a specific generation? My mother is Gen X and is like this. Has nothing to do with “omg millennials are on their phones all day!” I run three miles four times a week, go to barre class almost daily, eat healthy but occasionally indulge. My mother saw me eat potato chips on vacation and ranted about it for weeks and said I was destroying my body. Why are all Gen Xers like this?! Is it because you guys are on your phone all day?

Gotta be trolling.

Yet, I'm sure this millennial has no issues consuming mimosas and heavy restaurant food at bottomless brunch, orders door dash food, and hits up breweries.

McDonalds gets a bad rep but their food is much smaller in portion size compared to restaurants and probably has fewer calories and whatnot when compared to a meal at a millennial-approved restaurant.

I’m a millennial and while I agree McDonald’s daily wouldn’t be healthy, once in a while won’t kill you. Weird you think this is generational.

But when I pointed out to her that we have members of our own family (plus many friends of theirs) who are in their 80s who have been eating breakfast at McDonalds and eating hot dogs at baseball games for most of their lives she literally had no answer or reply when I pointed that out to her

On any given morning most McDonalds restaurants are filled with senior citizens on a daily basis.

Now my question to you is have younger become people so involved at staring at their smartphone screens that they do not notice the world around them?

I apologize for any grammatical errors. English is not my 1st language.

Wtf lol.

You're both dumb.

Are millennials so involved at staring at their smartphones that they do not notice the world around them, asks a member of a generation so unable to decipher fact from fiction that they handed the presidency to a mad man.

For instance, if you only eat hotdogs at baseball games, you are eating roughly 40 hotdogs a year (assuming you don't go to away games.) As for the senior citizens eating breakfast at McD's, how did they get there? Walk? Are they socializing? Life isn't about eating living in your basement and eating steel-cut oats.

Minor point here, but there are 81 home games per year.

No, the millennial is right, they aren't healthy. Genxer.

One difference is that people who are now in their 80s mostly didn't eat this crap every day as children, like my generation and generations after mine did.

You also have some selection going on, those older people who couldn't tolerate this type of food everyday but eat it anyhow are already dead.

Weird post, OP. I have two grandparents that smoked their whole lives, from their mid-teens. They both lived to see their 80th birthday. Would you argue smoking is not unhealthy?
