Why do I want fast food? (lemmygrad.ml)

I haven't ate McDonald's in at least 2 years if not more (and before that I ate it sparingly) But for some reason everytime I see mcdonalds or imagine it I do crave it. But I don't get it. I eat decent food, including well made burgers. And I can go get food from somewhere else if I don't feel like cooking. So I don't get it (and I don't think it's entirely nostalgia)

It surely is not the case for someone going vegan or eating fast food. The only legitimate reasons to not eat meat or fast food is your own individual health, because your individual choices will only affect your individual outcomes. It's idealist to believe choosing a different source of consumption will have an impact over the industry. For instance, McDonald's main source of income is not even selling food, it's rent and royalties from franchises all over the world.

The liberal part of this idea is restricting political protest or activity to what you consume, basically transforming action into another individual form of consumerism.

i think i may not have been clear that i was talking specifically about mcdonald's being on the bds list. i know the boycott had better results in the middle east but it hasn't had zero effect in the west
