yeah, but you get socially isolated if you don't consume it.
just like 30 years ago if you turned up your nose at mcdonalds everyone thought you were an asshole, because it was considered great thing and only weirdos would not eat there.
further all of this bleeds over into your real everyday life.
If you feel the need to eat McDonald's because of what other people think, then you have worse problems.
so being a dick about mcdonalds and having no friends, is better than having friends and not being a dick about mcdonalds?
and we wonder why gen z is so lonely... maybe because they'd rather be alone with sticks up their ass than remove the stick, eat the mc, and just have fun and make friends with people.
