Yeah I go to the food court inside my local Asian grocery store instead. $12 gets you 2-3 proteins and 1 side. And they put so much food they have a hard time closing the bento takeout containers and you can technically split it into 2 meals. More filling and healthier than a burger and fries at the same price.
I discovered one of these food courts inside what I thought was a medical building. Everyone there was Asian so you know the food is legit. Im in Canada and $15 gets me a packed container of food overflowing. It costs almost $20 with tax to go grab a whopper meal. There’s also an Afghan place near me that will give you a big container filled with rice and salad, a soup container filled with Rajma masala and a side of naan for $8
There’s a burger commercial in my country where a guy is pleasantly shocked to learn his burger is. ONLY $5. $5 for one a la carte burger is somehow supposed to make me say “oh that’s cheap!” All it does is remind me that they used to cost $2 five years ago.
There’s one of the problems. I don’t need enough food for a family of four. I need you to give me an appropriate amount of food for one human being for $6.
Asian food is the type of cuisine that somehow tastes just as good when reheated the next day. I don’t force myself to finish everything in one sitting and always take home leftovers. Obviously if you don’t have the means to store and reheat food, this won’t work.

Hey, but at least your pay also went up 150%!
Congrats. You just explained the problem of the West using a food analogy.
