But why go to a terrible fast food restaurant, like McDonald's, instead of going to a restaurant where you can get good food? You don' always have to eat at home. Hell, I enjoy going out to a nice restaurant, and do so fairly often. Why settle for McDonald's?
Fast food comes into play for me when time is an issue. I don't always have time when away from home to sit down at a good restaurant. Or, sometimes, I just really want that McRib. There seems to be this ongoing part of the discussion that people only actually like fast food because they've been somehow tricked into it.
Instead, one needs to accept that other people have different tastes than they do. I really want to like kimchee. It's got ingredients I like, but the overall taste just doesn't do it for me. My korean friend can't understand how anyone could ever eat any kind of cheese, she hates it.
People aren't always settling when they go fast food. It's where their current taste for something leads them.
