Not sure… I’d argue kids have more money for fast food than ever before , when I was a kid I was lucky if I had it maybe 3 times a year. I think a lot of businesses just evolved to make more and more money while caring less and less tbh

You could get a burger for a dollar back in the 90s and the portions were much bigger and better value. McDonald's is much more unaffordable for kids these days. What probably changed is the big shift to being health conscious expecially after supersize me. Parents are more careful what they feed their kids. I know I purposely went out of my way to avoid fast food for my kids.
