Yeah, I'd be fine. Was a cook by profession for quite a few years, and honestly the only reason I eat out at all ever is due to laziness and/or boredom. I never actually want to eat garbage from fast food places.
I meal prep as it is for my work days, so I'm pretty much not eating fast food as it is.
Except for In n Out. I might actually miss that place.

Yes. Once you learn to cook you realise there are a plethora of recipes which can be made cheap which destroy fast food in taste. I don't mind a burger every now and again but I rarely don't regret it after. You're just consuming old salads and meat made from parts of animal left overs which you would think twice about feeding to your dog.
Pretty much.
I think "home ec" classes need to be mandatory in high school, no one knows how to cook these days, including kids' parents. Boiling water for noodles and reheating jarred sauce doesn't count, either. Not saying you need to roll your own pasta, but if you can't take a plain can of tomatoes, saute some veggies, and season it to taste to make your own sauce....you got problems. Or, you know, make a big pot of chili. Or braise some pork. It's easy!
Not trying to sound snobby, but cooking is so easy and nearly effortless once you learn a few techniques which, frankly, you can get decent at just by reading a bit.
