I eat fast food all the time. A burger from fast food and a burger at home is about the same thing for most people. Sure, you can get whole wheat buns at home, but most people's home mayo isn't any better than Burger King's. A burrito made at home is about the same as the one you get at a restaurant, ingredient wise.

If your choice is grass fed beef, grass fed cow cheese, organic tomato, olive oil mayo, and sprouted grain buns vs Jack in the Box, your choice is clear, but people have an idea that fast food is fake beef or that there are a ton of additives in the meat. Not so. Frozen meat doesn't need preservatives and frozen meat is just as healthy as the stuff you make at home. The buns that most people eat at home are virtually the same as the fast food buns from a health perspective.

Fast food is bad because people eat too much food, and a good portion of it is fast food. Because it's cheap and convenient, fast food gets the blame.
