This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm up in Canada and since the start of the pandemic I've stopped going to fast food places. But after things got back to normal, I thought why should I go back to ordering food at McD's .... as I thought of it more, I realized it didn't make any sense.
Fast food is basically unnutritious food made by underpaid workers who don't like their work ... the food doesn't do me any good and its too expensive .... I have to trust the underpaid employee didn't mess up my order ... I waste money by degrading my health only to spend more money to try to get back some good health
I realized it was cheaper in the long run of my life to not eat at these damned places.
Yeah, McDs sucks and I haven't been in years, but I do go to fast good restaurants that have decent quality and pay workers reasonably, like In-N-Out, Five Guys, etc. We don't go very often, maybe once or twice per month, so we're happy paying a little more for better quality.

Love Hank Green. :)
And yeah, as someone who tends to look at calories before ordering to get the best value per dollar (more calories per dollar), this makes complete sense to me. Also, I tend to eat out with my whole family (5 of us), so I think more in terms of the total bill than individual orders since we can share fries or whatever. But given Hank's reaction, this apparently isn't how most people approach it.
