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

Watch OP's relative not actually be a millennial. Millennials are 40. It's probably a 20something and OP thinks it's a millennial.

It's so nice to have an easy way to tell who is and who isn't, right?

Millenials were born up to 1996 so includes 27 and older.

No idea how they settled on this. My guess is once Boomers were invented someone decided everybody belonged to a specific generation, but that's always been blurry anyway. I'm 69, my nephew is 41 and my niece just graduated from high school.

Why can't you just have a normal conversation about it. Food supply in the United States does not make it possible for everybody to have inexpensive healthy food.

Just because someone is old doesn't mean they are healthy.

What is your education level, perhaps it's hard for you to have an educated conversation because you aren't educated.

They have made it all the way into their 80s and 90s. That alone is an accomplishment.

Most seniors are on a fixed income. Many struggle day to day. 1 in 14 seniors is food insecure. McDonalds is cheap. It’s also a meeting spot to socialize. Coffee, egg McMuffin, hash browns might be followed by no lunch and lentil soup for dinner.

She's right. Just because old people do it doesn't make it healthy.

As a Gen Xer, I would have continued to eat my Egg McMuffin with black coffee, nothing is stopping me. I would ask: do you drink lattes? Yes? Well, that's worse than Egg McMuffin.

OMG. Stop. It is not a generational thing.

They lived until their 80’s or 90’s eating awful, unhealthy food. Imagine how long they would’ve lived if they’d NOT eaten at McDonald’s regularly.

They might’ve lived past a hundred or even into the hundred-teens.

LOL. No, they don’t. They’re old. They made it to being old with those extra pounds and that galls you, but oh well.

I guarantee you a decent number of those old people at McDonalds have spent a lot of time in the hospital and may have made it this long because early on in life they are real food and not so much processed junk. If I am going to live to my 80s I want to healthy, vibrant and sharp. Eating at McDonalds does not contribute to that goal plus it makes me stomach sick.

This but it’s also not going to kill you. Case in point the 80 year olds.

Alcohol and smoking are 100% worse for your health than the occasional McDonald’s

McDonalds is incredibly unhealthy. It’s also for poors and otherwise low class folks who surely have many other unhealthy habits. If you eat McDonalds more than once or twice a year after smoking weed, you need to really examine your choices.

Even so, eating McDonalds is nothing from a holistic health perspective compared to being so thoroughly soaked with anxiety that you would worry about this for others and feel the need to preach. Anyone doing that is going to burn out and hit the inpatient mental health circuit by 50. Or die from a stroke/heart attack. (That’s how those fat old bastards at McDonalds live so long, just being carefree smoking cigs and drinking whole milk their entire lives without a hint of concern.)

You have to remember that for the first half of their lives they were eating home cooked meals mostly. What you eat when you are young and middle aged is much more important than what you eat at 80

My grandmother made home cooked meals her entire life. Once each week, she got together with friends for coffee and a hamburger at McDonalds. It was their social hang out in their elderly years.

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.

If you’re going to every game for a MLB team you need to double your stats...81 hotdogs
