I don’t think most people want to, they have no choice.

Not to be cynical, but there might be other things also at play here. The 3% of clinically obese people on ozempic probably make up close to 6% of the fast food sales.
Whatever the cause – people eating less fast food is excellent for public health, the NHS, Tax and living standards.

Filling up the basket seeing the full price and walking away is a normal experience now.
Even McDonald’s isn’t cheap anymore.

I’d like to think some of this is related to the weight loss drugs. Having used a few the idea if fast food on them is non existent

Corporate greed prices the average consumer out of the market.
“Oh no, our profits!?! We better up prices further!”
Remember when companies used to think it the terms of 1 or 2 decades not 1 or 2 quarters? Good times.
