I don't see many older ppl in Taco Bell, but McDonald's, yes.
Back in the day of early fast food restuarants it was thee choice. There were very few choices and McDonalds was #1 for years and years.
It was their generation that made McDonalds successful, so it's like an old friend that they grew up with.

A lot of restaurants offer senior citizen discounts, including fast food ones. McDonald's gives free refills, not sure about Taco Bell.

They can't afford anything else. Where has Bush cut funds? Medicare, Medicaid. The older vets have had their medical coverage eliminated. The Pard D of the Medicare prescription coverage is a joke. Guess who benefits? NOT the elderly, but the insurance companies. Look at Wal-Mart with the Humana people and their booths out to "get" the elderly to sign on to THEIR coverage. I think it is a damned shame!

They're not expensive, you don't have to get a huge meal (elderly people often have small appetites), they don't mind if you hang out with your elderly pals for a while, and, at least in the case of McDonald's, the coffee is reputed to be pretty good.

E621 has been appropriate with hyperactivity in little ones, and allergies in adults. that's between the artwork e-numbers, so some distance as i'm in contact (2nd to man made sweeteners, of course!). in case you fairly love your noodles, why do no longer you start up procuring the type that has the flavouring sachet separate to the noodles, so which you have finished administration over how loads of the stuff is going in there. on the different hand, you are able to desire to boil the noodles up, and flow them to a frying pan and upload a spoon of MSG-unfastened packet sauce as a replace. Noodles incorporate SOOOOOOO many energy! I generally consume the small packets, and thhey often have between 3 hundred-4 hundred energy! OUCH!

Both those places are very inexpensive. Could be old folks on a fixed income looking to save expenses.

It is inexpensive and I find they like to hang out there with their friends--much like young people hang at malls & Starbucks---they can sit in air conditioning & not spend much money...
