Once they determined that it was the onions that were bad, you would have thought they would remove them from everything. Apparently the kids who got sick here in town didn't get Quarter Pounders but something else that came with onions.

The only time we stop at MickyD's is after tracking event with Lexy. She gets a plain cheeseburger, the humans get fries.
Makes me wonder who's really the head of the family.

Bold mine - you know full well who is in charge...just like around here, the dogs (and cat) have us trained.

I avoid fast food in general unless I absolutely need to eat and am on the road. I haven't eaten at McD's in two decades. I hate their food, I can taste the plastic in it.

I know other Navy vets who are getting treated for various ailments because of exposure in service. One lost his prostate and is sliding into Alzheimer's linked to direct exposure to Agent Orange, and the other has hearing damage from working on the flight deck. I have hearing damage and tinnitus from working in the engine room. I didn't claim it because I also used to drag race cars with no mufflers, and no hearing protection beyond what was in the helmet. We've all inhaled either or both exhaust fumes and raw fuel fumes. In the engine room, we used to clean our hands with it before going for chow. It's called, "Young, dumb and full of cum".
The military denied for decades that exposure to AO was a problem. (sarc) Now that the affected population is satisfactorily reduced, they are addressing it. (/sarc)

My mom's late partner Kevin had 60% disability service-related from AO going back to about 2008 or so. They're not unfeeling in administering benefits as much as they are cash-starved and people-short, I think.
I may have residuals from my exposure to PFAS, but like you, I've done enough other stuff that I can't blame my service for it. Washed up with diesel, too.

Personally, and not judging anyone else, I don't think that not patronizing McDonalds qualifies as a 'choice'. More of a Kantian moral imperative.
