Fast food isn't a luxury. A luxury is something extravagant, high quality, and highly enjoyable. Fast food is simply an overpriced disappointment.
it's obviously a luxury of convenience. nobody has ever claimed fast food was extravagant or high quality.
If that's the case, a luxury of convenience, then fast food was and still is a luxury. Or maybe fast food was an $affordable luxury of convenience and now it is an $$$expensive luxury of convenience. Ok, that makes sense to me.
It barely tastes like food to me anymore!
I dont eat much meat, but i still like a good crispy chicken sandwich- now that costs $12, is so brined and salty i get kinda grossed out, and has 3 gristley bits i have to spit into a napkin. And i sweat grease and stink for a day.

30 years ago, fast food may hit the "highly enjoyable" part... but now, for many, it's hitting the "something extravagant" part because of the cost (proportional to their disposable income)
