Yes, but...

I sometimes order a kids meal because portions are too big for me and I don't want to waste. I hate going to restaurants because plates are too big.

If it were not for capitalism trying squeeze every cent out of working people and charging the same for less, I would kind of appreciate the shrinkflation. Like, just shrinking portions without keeping the price of the regular one, that would have been nice.

And I'm sure it will sound mean but, people cutting back on the amount of McDonald’s they eat may end up being not so negative.

Again, it's bad because people are doing it to cut back on expenses, but they are still going to eat out at McDonald’s, so it can't be that bad for them.

It's not like they are being shot at by the IDF while waiting for their happy meal. Maybe by the national guard soon, but not yet.
