Americans shop for calories per dollar.
Please don't look at why they do that, we're the best country ever!
It's the gateway drug to insulin. Corn syrup infused fats, no vitamins or any other important stuff.
Changing $12 for what is functionally agricultural waste product is so fucking funny.
Ground beef is what's left on the cow after all the choice bits have been carved off. The bun is so thick with preservatives most organisms literally can't eat it. The sauces are just colored corn syrup. The produce is bottom of the barrel.
This isn't food, it's industrial runoff. You'd eat better picking through the trash of a real grocery store.
Does OP even Taco Town?
Between 1975 and 2016, the prevalence of obesity in Europe rose 138%, with a 21% rise between 2006 and 2016. The prevalence of overweight rose by 51% between 1975 and 2016, and by 8% between 2006 and 2016. It is expected that by 2030, over half of Europe will live with obesity â up to 89% in some countries. No Member State is on track to reach the target of halting the rise in obesity by 2025.
The proliferation of unhealthy eating is a big problem for most of Europe, too. Theyâre on the same path as the US for mostly the same reasons, just a few steps back.
That said, if Iâm going to be fat, Iâd rather it be because of schnitzel the size of a dinner plate or cacio e pepe over a Monster Burger.
I'm currently vacationing in Japan and have slimmed down a lot in just a week of walking, eating smaller healthier meals, and taking the train everywhere. America has a truly fucked standard of living. I don't want to go back to driving and eating shitty oversized unhealthy meals while also tipping.
I'm up in Canada and since the start of the pandemic I've stopped going to fast food places. But after things got back to normal, I thought why should I go back to ordering food at McD's .... as I thought of it more, I realized it didn't make any sense.
Fast food is basically unnutritious food made by underpaid workers who don't like their work ... the food doesn't do me any good and its too expensive .... I have to trust the underpaid employee didn't mess up my order ... I waste money by degrading my health only to spend more money to try to get back some good health
I realized it was cheaper in the long run of my life to not eat at these damned places.
American burgers are the king of all burgers, bottom line
That said 2 things I absolutely agree with:
A burger should be small enough to easily bite. Itâs okay if you have to smoosh it down with your hands
If you already have ketchup, mustard, mayo, bbq, etc then why do I need âburger sauceâ? Your burger sauce is probably just some variation on mayo and ketchup anyway. Thanks for making my burger a sloppy piece of shit akin to eating ribs
I REALLY wish they would have went to Five Guys.
Guy 3/5: fills 32 ounce cup with fresh hot, salt slathered fries. Drops cup in a large bag. Takes another full scoop of the fries and throws them in the bag. Easily 4-5 potatoes worth.
The cup of fries should be 1300 calories, they easily put twice as many in. That's a daily food intake worth of calories for the side alone.
Big food is kind of a marketing thing in America. Restaurants want to give their customers more " bang for their buck" (or at least appear to), but they don't want to lower prices. Instead, they increase portions. This has lead to a size arms race where every restaurant wants to claim they have the biggest food in town. This is especially the case for burger joints. It doesn't matter to the restaurant if customers eat all their food, since they pay for all of it either way. I'm guessing Americans are more culturally susceptible to this marketing tactic, since bigger-is-better is common here, and hence things have been taken further than in other countries.
This seems to be another case of someone throwing reason out the door for the sake of insulting Americans. There is no way you would be getting "shit eating grins" for ordering a kids meal. And if your large burgers are smaller than a kids meal, you either have very little size variation, or the small would be like a single bite.
It's interesting reading responses on this because I'm gathering a lot of Europeans/non-americans think that burgers are always fast food?
When an american thinks of a good burger I think most of us are picturing our favorite bar and grill's burger, not a chain fast food one.
Are burgers pretty much only at fast food chains in other countries?
Falsified and homosexual. No Yuroopeens allowed
This is after supersize was deemed too super sized
There are other places to eat, though? Why travel and get fast food? Get something local - anything that is a nationwide chain is nonsense, the US is too big to have one cuisine.
Here, get a Cuban sandwich, black beans, and fried plantains. You will still have enough for two meals, they aren't wrong about the portions, but at least it will be good.
I think the most sacred, fundamental, and important ârightâ my fellow Americans care about is the right to self destructive behavior.
Just watch Bowling For Columbine to find out exactly how fucked up the USA is.
So anon blames an entire country for their shitty life choices?
I don't remember the last time I ate fast food. I'm sure when I did, it was nothing like this - oh, it still sucked - but all I got was a burger and iced tea.
Though I completely agree restaurant portion sizes are insane anywhere. I akways get 2 meals out of a "serving", often 3.
dont stop them. it was a mistake to take care during the pandemic. let them eat a ton of fat a day, zip some raw milk with mountain dew - because that is how you solve a problem. you do not stop it.
look at world aid. tried to stop world hunger...and more people than ever die from hunger.
we proling a problem by trying to solve the impossible. there is no argument to convince imbeciles.
