I don't want cheap, crappy and unhealthy food. I want to be able to get a decent burger or chicken sandwich from a drive thru where the employees are fairly compensated and the corporation isn't gouging everyone it can.
Everyone forgets it's the minimum living wage, not just minimum wage.
I have chronic fatigue and if I have to go out I know I won't be able to muster up the energy to fix food when I get home. On top of living 40 minutes from town when I have to go to town for doctors or appointments.
If meal prep works for you, that's great! I hope it continues!
