>>535413180>The quintessential American experience of affordable indulgence After the end of World War II the United States was in a uniquely powerful position. Pretty much every major country in the world had been totally decimated. They either had most of their infrastructure destroyed or a huge loss of life of men at home. United States which was already an industrial powerhouse was relatively untouched. The ensuing year saw an influx of money and wealth into the United States that was unlike anything that had ever happened to any other country in the history of mankind. One of the major advancements was the development of the supermarket. You see prior to our modern era most people would be shopping for food in open air markets where vendors from various different places would be hawking their goods at whatever prices they thought were fair. There was no way to know if the quality of the food was decent and very often you'd be paying significant wages for food that really wasn't that great. Developments like the American highway system, which allowed for near instantaneous transport of bulk goods from either the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean, meant every American could shop in an air conditioned, sanitary, indoor space for a wide variety of fresh produce from every corner of the hemisphere. This opened up an entire world where basically every person, even the poor, could have high calorie, flavorful foods. It's also around this time that McDonald's comes into existence. More than just a fast food joint, opening a franchise was a way that people could reliably enter the middle class. These restaurants were selling food to the working class that was reserved for the elite in many parts of the world: refrigerated produce, frozen ice cream, fresh meat, fresh dairy that was consistently good.When you see a burger with a milkshake it's not just a meal. It is a representation of American power. Within it contains an entire story of how we dominated the world.
>>535414834Conversely I think you can also see an analogy for America's failings in the burger. Wasteful indulgence leading to obesity. Foregoing good quality ingredients for artificial fillers and synthetic amalgamations of ingredients. The rising cost of everything transforming what should be an accessible dining option into an expensive burden. Addictive chemical additives and factory farm pollution showing us how a good thing has been perverted to a corporate shell of its former self. Anyway for me it's the McChicken.
>>535412556Is it because everyone is now over 350lbs and they can never charge for food?
