Fast food is not actually profitable. The money the government has to pay to their workers in various social programs is roughly equal to the money the company pockets. So with liveable wages it'd break even.
In other words, we're keeping them alive with public money, that doesn't sound the kind of investment a society wants to make.
Maybe if we force them to provide liveable wages they'll reinvent themselves.
Or they'll fold. In that case, I'm eager to see what solutions to getting food on the go will appear to replace them.

I have absolutely no qualms with mega-corporations like Wal-Mart and McDonald's going under and being replaced by small, local businesses.
