Americans are simultaneously encouraged to worship thinness while also worshipping gluttony by the media. Too bad it doesn't work that way LOL! There are actually very few people in this world who can pig out all the time and also stay "model/actress thin." Take a look at all the TV shows that are all about a guy travelling around and eating: "No Reservations," "Bizarre Foods," etc.
Then there is the all-time winner that is specifically about eating to bursting: "Man vs. Food." I have watched it a few times and it makes my stomach hurt just to watch him eat like that.
It looks like he actually enjoys it alot of the time...except for the Pho, which is supposedly the hottest (spiciest) food on earth.
You are probably single with no kids. If you are married and have kids and possible working on one salary, occasionally fast food makes life easier. You just have to make sure not to make a habit of it.
Dirt? I didn't know almost $50,000 average yearly salary per household was dirt. When you buy crap you don't even remotely need, then I guess you need to supplement it with crap food.
No wonder why there is a fat epidemic in the country. We all want quick and easy. It's not "adapting" it's "confiding" our food choices in the hands of Ronald, Wendy and the King.
Some people buy the extras while others have the necessities and little more.
Rent or Mortgage, Car Payment(s), Car Insurance, Gasoline, LIPA, National Grid/ Oil, SCWA, Cable or Satellite, Groceries, Huge Taxes. Long Island is not cheap and $50,000 is good for a single person or married couple living in a cheap apartment or condo but a family of four on one salary of $50,000 in a house is probably struggling BIG TIME !!! Yes, buying fruits and vegetables and doing a proper food shopping is essential but an occasional fast meal might be the difference between occasional sanity or lack of.

I know what you mean, and you know what I'm going to say....
don't buy a $300,000 house on a $50,000 salary. Live within your means.
Hard to do for some people, but it's not impossible.
The crazy Satan worshipper shot by the cops in Massapequa dragged it to Hell as an offering to his master Satan.
They really canned the project?
