Yeah because fast food is so cheap now. (Nice try though)


Still cheaper than buying salmon, salad, and rice from even the cheapest of grocery stores....and obviously fast food fills you up and is satisfying (unlike, say, a lighter healthy meal).


No it isn’t. If you make your own meals at home, you’ll know it’s so much more cost-effective than the crap available outside.

Agreed


at McD’s in DC with the app you could get two cheese burgers (or mcchicken) for $3.50 and $1.20 for large fries and $1.40 for large soda, so just under $7 with taxes included. I’m curious what you could make with $7 in DC area?


Black lentils at whole foods are 3 bucks. It could last you a while instead of a 1-time reflux inducing meal.


cooked or raw?

At least we haven’t gotten updates on OP’s bowel movements.

OP, no one here really cares about your eating habits.

Op I agree with you- depending on the day fast food can definitely make you feels sick, and I am not the healthiest eater.
Hope you are all good now.

OP, I would get a check up. It’s not normal to have such a strong reaction to eating one fast food meal. Or maybe you have some health problems you are already aware of?

I normally have a strong stomach. It never bothers me other than the once a year I catch a bug from my kids.

Good for you OP! I’m shocked how Americans justify eating so much crap. No wonder the rates of diabetes, heart disease and cancer are so high in this country.


I agree. We have family in the Midwest and they looked at me with two heads when I grab a carrot to snack on instead of Cheetos.

OP, I empathize with you. Some people can handle eating FF. I am NOT one of those people. As a kid, I might have gone to eat FF once or twice a year. When, I first graduated from college, my place had no kitchen so I had Wendys once a week. Now, I cannot eat FF. I like the smell, but if I eat it, I will be running to the bathroom. I think the quality of the food is much worse.

OP, this is why I avoid fast food like the plague. Go ahead and call me a snob…I don’t care.

How do people survive eating this regularly? Luckily it was the weekend so I could be lazy. If I had to work I would not have been able to be productive. I am by no means the world’s healthiest eater, but I think I will never do this again.


I couldn't care less about how you feel.

OP reminds me of the kids at my DC’s college who have convinced their parents that they need huge amounts of extra $$ for eating out because the food in the dining hall ”makes their stomach hurt.”

This. If you have been eating food that is much lower in fat, your body is not used to the fat in the meal. It was hard on your body. Type of food, diet, age play a role. A 15 - 20 year old would have probably eaten it with no consequences and would have had dessert and another meal a few hours later to follow. It doesn’t mean the food you had was bad, or that it’s bad in general.
