I am having a hard time wrapping my head around why affordable fast food options mean reduced demand for fries?

Wouldn’t the inverse be true?

McDonalds has gotten expensive. The new $5 meal deal is cheap so a lot of people are buying it. The $5 Meal Deal has a small fries, a typical meal has a medium. This shows that the people buying the $5 Meal Deal were mostly McDonalds customers anyway, rather than new customers.

More people are opting for the $5 meal deal, which means more people are getting smalls which is less total fries.
