Good, keep jacking up the price of fast food. Hopefully less people will spend money on that poison.

Their prices are up, you don’t think that means store prices are up as well?

Of course, inflation is horrible right now. But I’m ok with fast food getting insanely expensive, hopefully it discourages people from eating it

Which will lead to more job loss. Also, food in grocery stores is up as well.

Food gets more expensive - "this is a good thing because it will keep people from overeating"
Gas gets more expensive - "this is a good thing because it will keep people from driving often"
Bills get more expensive - "this is a good thing because it will force people to be more efficient"

You can keep this going for every inflation topic really.

You really think fast food is the only place affected by massive inflation?

That is not the point. The point is that it is another indicator that that inflation is serious for everyone on every level.

Furthermore, fast food isn't bad for you if you go out once per week or two, which is what most people do. So, your argument that fast food is bad for you, completely misses the point and it is a very poor argument.
Helping one person may not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.

A cheesy bean and rice burrito only went up 19% so I'm using this information to confirm my beliefs that the state of the US economy is just fine.

Your results may vary.

No. I’m just glad the price is going up.

Ideally I’d want the price of groceries to go down but the price of fast food to continue to rise.

There was hardly much inflation until Biden took office.
