No, fast food is actually just disgusting lab-made pseudo-food, if you’re accustomed to fresh, whole, real food.

I loved fast food growing up, but after a couple year stint eating only fresh foods, I went back and literally couldn’t stomach it anymore. It tastes good going down. (At the time) I had no conditioning or preconceived beliefs that it was disgusting, but within an hour my stomach felt queasy and I threw it up. After half a dozen times experiencing that, I gave up on fast food entirely.

Be that as it may, he wouldn't get sick when he didn't think he was eating fast food. We'd go to a diner for breakfast sometimes, and since he perceived it as a nice family-run place, he wouldn't get sick, even though their food was still processed garbage that showed up frozen in a truck every morning.

There's a stark difference between frozen food off of the Sysco truck and McDonalds.

[defterGoose]

Right. The McDonald's food is generally higher quality.

Is there? I used to have a prejudice against McDonalds never having tried it, but if you get the same things you would be getting from a diner, there's not much difference.
