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?
Because this is a "kids these days!" rant, unconnected to the actual question of whether McDonald's is unhealthy.

I can’t believe this thread
Go look up “Super Size Me”
The only thing wrong with OP’s millennial is not having a quick response ready - in fairness, in a logical world, no one would even argue against McD’s being unhealthy

In McD's you don't see the old folks who are out riding their bicycles.
The vast majority walk in on their own without the assistance of walkers.

I can go on and on, and this was educated middle class family. There was never a reason to create such foods unless someone wanted to make money. They also had a cookie jar. The holw house was one big cookie jar.
Well, at least they made their own kellogs rice crispies.
The fruits and vegetable were eaten by me only and then they stopped buying those since they were more expensive and kids didn't even eat them.
A middle class family who stopped buying fruit because they were more expensive were able to afford an au pair?
I've been doing something wrong.
-signed an UMC family who can't afford an au pair.

My dad turned 90 in January. Smoked for more than 40 years though he did stop in his mid 70s. When he was in his late 50s he had an xray done on his chest, and they said his lungs were black from too much smoking. He stopped for a bit, then picked it up again.
But, I think he is not the norm. He has longevity in his family. His sibling is almost 100. They also smoked but not as much.
McD is unhealthy. Just don't eat it everyday, though, I am guilty of eating their breakfast burrito with hasb browns and OJ everyday for like almost a year when I was younger back in the 90s. What can I say... it was cheap and convenient.
After I had kids, I ate healthier for my kids, and also because I wanted my kids to eat healthier. My 18 yr old occasionally eats at McDs, and it's ok. He'll survive like we all did.

In all the time you spend off your smartphone looking at the world have you not noticed that plenty of unhealthy people manage to live into their 80s? They're less likely to do so, but that doesn't mean that they never do.
I know plenty of smokers in their 80s, but smoking is unhealthy. My uncle was a cocaine addict for quite a long time and he's in his late 70s now. He might well live until his 80s, but I'd never say his drug was healthy.
