I haven't ate McDonald's in at least 2 years if not more (and before that I ate it sparingly) But for some reason everytime I see mcdonalds or imagine it I do crave it. But I don't get it. I eat decent food, including well made burgers. And I can go get food from somewhere else if I don't feel like cooking. So I don't get it (and I don't think it's entirely nostalgia)

Honestly, just eat it, let it out of your system. You will probably be disappointed at how the taste became worse over time haha. For me, it's better to do it than keep repressing yourself, which at least for me, only makes the desire stronger

    Boycotting is a liberal form of struggle, if you can even call it that. Because it believes that your individual choice will have an impact on the outcome of a company.

    Going vegan won't stop the meat industry from murdering millions of animals. You deciding you won't eat from fast food companies will not affect their profits, because they exploit people internationally, and it's unfeasible to organize a boycott in this scale.

    individual boycott is somewhat liberal, yes. collective boycott, as with BDS, has impacts, especially as part of a broader mass movement, as is the case with israel and south africa

    It surely is not the case for someone going vegan or eating fast food. The only legitimate reasons to not eat meat or fast food is your own individual health, because your individual choices will only affect your individual outcomes. It's idealist to believe choosing a different source of consumption will have an impact over the industry. For instance, McDonald's main source of income is not even selling food, it's rent and royalties from franchises all over the world.

    The liberal part of this idea is restricting political protest or activity to what you consume, basically transforming action into another individual form of consumerism.
