This week, we scour campaign finance reports to reveal strikingly partisan preferences for various restaurants, with few more polarizing than McDonald’s.
So the Republicans get a lot of fast food from a lot of places, while the Democrats seem to avoid major chains altogether, and when they do get fast food they go for restaurants that (in my opinion) are the most extremely overpriced and worst value (chipotle, panera).
The Republicans also seem to have a particular fixation in chick fil a, which is not surprising given that they campaign more in the south, CFA is typically a bit cheaper than other fast food, and it’s not maligned by Republicans like it still is by many progressives.
I prefer restaurants and stores without religious flavoring.
Also yeah, I guess I do tend to prefer the overpriced options if I have to eat out: they tend to have the choices that most resemble nutrition. I guess if the purpose is calories per dollar, maybe their value is lower.
