For my last fast food experience ever, I figured I might as well go and get the worst possible thing:
I haven't eaten McDonald's since... 2010. A line producer I enjoy no longer working for brought us McMuffins for our morning meal. Only about a third of them had any meat in them. Excluding The Habit, Wahoo's and Malibu Fish Grill, I haven't eaten fast food since the shite McMuffins. It was a pretty fun project, McMuffins aside.
My last McDonalds was when they came out with the new/different nuggets (the last time) - I was still living with my ex so it was probably the spring of 2010. My last Taco Bell was later than that but still, thankfully, no more recently than 2012. I think as a West Coaster you are woefully unaware of Wawas, but they have revolutionized my life. It also is not hard to eat relatively healthily, worries about the effect of mass processed food aside, at Wawa as long as you are able to make the right choices. Sometimes I'm bad, sometimes I'm good, but I'll take a Wawa over any other fast food any day. I appreciate at least knowing the option to not eat "terribly" is available at the food stop of my choice, whether or not I take it. I almost got McDonalds the other night starving and stuck in very bad traffic with an hour ahead of me, but I opted out. I was ravenous when I finally arrived - that persistent hunger that doesn't abate, carbonated drinks filling your stomach and all nicotine sails to the wind regardless.
There is no doubt that fast food will Rune you.
Had that been nearby, and an option, I would have gladly partook.
