Well that's pretty much only true at McDonald's because of their immense market share. Most other places still serving large patties and large burgers. Carl's Jr., Wendy's, etc. God knows what Burger King is doing, but I think the Whoppers are still pretty big. Disgusting, but big.

Comes with a side of insulin I hope. $800 combo

A burger with high quality ingredients is not the worst thing you can eat. The worst part about it will be the saturated fat from the red meat.

Yeah and a combo at Five Guys is $25 bucks so it's not like a good cheeseburger is even accessible to most people anymore.

Most of the food comes from fast food along stroads. It is a core part of the problem. The education system is probably the root, but I wouldn't expect a tourist to understand that.

Nothing beats a cheeseburger. Btw, it's not cheeseburgers making us fat, for the most part. It's soda, and low quality food products with excess sugar and refined carbs.

Duh? A corporation is purely a legal construct. We've had 150 years of expansion of their legal status and they run the country as a result. A corporation is essentially the functional unit of our society. Individuals really don't matter and have limited rights. If you don't have money, your rights, while still codified, cannot be substantiated in court and therefore effectively don't exist.

You forget that financially the DNC strategy is very sound, even lucrative. This can go on for a very long time and things will get worse before they get better. Winning elections is not the objective when money is what fuels the machine.
