All of them? Yeah, I could see starvation because they supply so much physical food that I don't see the economy being able to sustain such a hit to supply.

I wouldn't support it because there are reasons why the current fast food infrastructure has been built. I feel like you'd curl the monkey paw when getting rid of fast food.
