    is fast food a luxury or a necessity?

    this is a version of fast food. that’s why it’s a luxury.

    it’s also a factor of true cost vs the fact these are sold at a loss and understanding the psychology therein that gets people to buy more than they otherwise would.

      no, what I’m asking is how a ready to eat food product that is cheaper than the raw materials alternative is considered a luxury in this context

      I understand that ready to eat food itself is somewhat of a luxury, but that is not what is being discussed - what is being discussed is the cost of the food.
