Nobody eats fast food because they think it's good for them. They eat it because it's there, it's fast, and they're starving.
Fair. But let's be honest about the trade.
The first 30 minutes
Great. Salty, fatty, exactly what your brain wanted. This is the part fast food is good at.
The next 4 hours
Fog. Bloat. The 2pm wall. Your body diverting energy to digest a meal it wasn't designed for. The "I'll just have coffee" spiral. By dinner you're starving again because none of it actually nourished you.
The real cost of fast
Fast food isn't fast. It borrows energy from your afternoon and charges interest. A 10-minute drive-thru costs you half a workday.
Real convenience is food that's fast AND keeps you moving. That's the whole idea.
