I’m not following. If Mcdy’s goes bankrupt, people still have to eat so they’ll go to grocery stores instead of restaurants. They won’t be paying a markup. Stores will expand because there will be more demand on the consumer side.
I cook almost all of our meals at home. I use mainly whole ingredients and minimal hyper processed foods. Outside of tips or service fees associated with eating takeout or dining out, there are lots of non fast food options nearby that cost us less per meal than many of my go to meals. Quality produce (when you can find it) has become particularly expensive.
Even if that weren’t the case, people that don’t know how to cook as it is aren’t going to be well versed in replacing more expensive ingredients with cheaper ones. These people are less likely to start using healthier, whole ingredients at home, and will instead opt for cheap, highly processed options like skillet noodle meals and frozen prepared foods.
This situation is no joke. I am honestly on edge about just how dire this could get.
Unintentionally this would make Americans healthy again. Going back to times where everyone cooked their food.
No. When the McDonalds and Krafts of the country start running out of money so do the grocery stores you buy food to cook from.
Prices will increase across the board. Especially since the dickhead in charge started a war that affected fertilizer and fuel prices.
It takes a little while for the other shoe to drop sometimes, but it sure fucking will. Count on it.
