The food itself is pre-prepared and re-heated on the spot. Go when there's not a rush on and you can get your food in minutes. Go during rush hour and you'll still be in and out much faster than at a sit-down establishment (that's also inevitably understaffed).
I've heard this line and I think there's an element of truth to it. Food really does taste differently if you've been eating the high salt/sugar junk for an extended period.
But you can get junk food anywhere. You don't need McD's to make it for you. Gas stations have soda fountains. Grocery stores have microwaved meals full of preservatives and sweeteners. You can just make yourself a hamburger at home, it doesn't have to come from a store.
It just takes time, a certain degree of skill, and a kitchen with functional appliances that you're going to need to clean up after you're done. McD's just goes in the trash afterwards. Far faster to buy a burger than cook one.
Sorry but this is circular reasoning.
If you don't have much time then you go when you're able to. Which is lunchtime or after work. Which is the same for everyone else. Which is why you have to wait in line for half an hour. Which is why the "saving time" aspect doesn't make any sense. It doesn't matter if the food is ready made if you have to wait behind 30 other cars ahead of you.
A takeout order anywhere else will be ready when you get there if you call ahead of time and you can just go in and get it. No need to wait a single minute.
The truth is that fast food is made to be addictive, not convenient.
