No money for food? Go to McDonald’s, Karl Nehammer says.

It's not healthy, but it's cheap: a hamburger at McDonald's — €1.40, if I buy fries with it, €3.50.
3.50€ for a meal isn't cheap and nothing a poor person can afford on a regular basis. I can cook a great meal for under 2€ that doesn't consist of trash. What a detached asshole.
McDonald's is not cheap food, it's fast food. I don't expect this cunt to know the difference.
Yeah I don't know about Austria but here McDonald's ain't that cheap.
Same in all Europe. Not cheap for the quality. Cooking at home the same burger is cheaper with better ingredients
Same here in Lithuania. McDonalds is way too expensive for people on a tight budget and what you get for the price is disappointing too. It's cheaper and more delicious to make some burgers at home (which aren't so dry that you must wash down every bite with a sip of Coke) or just to get a street kebab (which is slightly more expensive but actually fills you for the entire day and is full of meat and veggies).
That's not even enough to satiate you. For that you need to buy a menu which is about 10€ here in Germany. That's not cheap at all.
If I could afford almost 4 quid per meal I'd be laughing! Think of all the nice food I could eat!
We grow all of our vegetables for most of the year. Potatoes, carrots, leeks, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beetroot, lots of berries for jams, etc etc. I don't know how we'd manage without that.
We live in the outskirts of a major city in England, not a stereotypically poor blackwater somewhere. This is how bad things are these days.
What can a banana cost?
As of July 2023, the price of a Big Mac (just the sandwich) in the US is $5.58 (€5.27). https://www.statista.com/statistics/274326/big-mac-in@dex-global-prices-for-a-big-mac/
According to Google that's about $5 Canadian. The avegage burger combo at McDonald's in my area is about $12. $15 if you upsize.
Not that eating healthier is much cheaper.
Exactly. Not only is it not cheap on a regular basis, but it isn't even that much food from my experience at the cheaper end of McDonalds.
You'd be far better off cooking your own food if you have the time, but the problem is a lot of these people are so busy working their arses off to stay afloat that they don't have that time.
3,50€ is really cheap in my country. But our grocery and restaurants prices are among the worse ones
