I ordered two large fries and all I got was a HUNDRED FUCKIN LITTLE ONES
I shouldn’t eat ANY French fries for my health. Fortunately, my health isn’t a consideration when I’m having fries. Sounds like they found a good way to use grant money for lunches, though!
Ok, you’ve convinced me that I need a shitload of fries. Off to the airfryer I go!
I read it as hairdryer at first

Not the FASTEST way, but if you have a really powerful hairdryer I guess you might be able to reheat a few fries? 🤷😂
As long as you can do six.
honestly it’s so overblown, you can eat fries it’s fucking fine.
what’s important is that you also eat some damn vegetables, don’t eat tons of sugar, and go for a at least a 5 minute stroll every other day.if you really like fries, get an air fryer. they make perfectly fine freezer fries with fewer calories and no mess from oil.
I’ve never had a problem with having more than 1 serving at a time before and I’m not about to stop now
I eat 6 fries at a time. There are probably ten “servings” in a medium fries at McDonald’s.
a small french fries at mcd is 71g, or 2.5oz, a medium is a bit over 4oz. various sources from a quick ddg place u.s.d.a. serving size for french fries at 3oz.
I can’t believe they didn’t include the unit. Are we talking 6 small, medium, or large fries? There’s variation on where you get them from too. That could be so many fries!
/s
6 Waffle Fries.

Yeah, 6 per bite is really optimal. One at a time can be fun, but 6 is much more satisfying!
I’ve given up eating at fast food places … it doesn’t make any sense when you think about it over a lifetime.
You’re buying unhealthy food that degrades your health and the food is being prepared and handled by people being paid as little as possible while these same workers more often than not don’t like their job. The average person looks down on the fast food worker job and we make fun of them … but we all think nothing of expecting them to make our food. Even the food itself is not food as it’s scientifically engineered to be as addictive as possible, not make you immediately sick and produced with as cheap an edible food product as possible … many of McDonald’s items are known to use a cellulose food filler made from wood pulp … basically sawdust.
And we pay a premium for it.
The more I thought of it, the more reasons I had to not buy this crap let alone eat it.
Yeah, but I’m hungry and want burgey now!
Ok we’re talking about fries. Deep fried potatoes. Places like in n out literally make them in front of you. You aren’t going to do it any cheaper or healthier at home.
The “average” person doesn’t “look down” on fast food workers and who tf is this “we” making fun of them?
And what exactly is the problem with cellulose? It’s an extremely abundant plant based protein. It makes food have a better texture and doesn’t effect the taste. Do you not eat salad because it has cellulose in the lettuce leafs?
It’s an extremely abundant plant based protein.
Cellulose is a polysaccharide. Not a protein.
Oh… ok my bad. Thanks for the correction.
The oil is the big thing that makes french fries unhealthy. That and salt. Potatoes in general are pretty nutritious (more so if you leave the skin on). You can air fry them at home, go easy on the salt, and they’ll be much better for you than fast food fries.
Its used because its cheap and people barely have time or energy to take care of themselves in the daily grind that is modern life thanks to capitalist exploitation.

but borgir tasty
There’s no such thing as cheap food.
Heard that in a TED talk and they’re words to live by.
I’m gonna be honest, the more wood pulp they can put in there, the better. I’d eat fast food more often if it was worse for me but had less calories overall. We are always making tradeoffs when making any food decision and the calculus I’m using when I’m at a fast food place is hedonist.
If I wanted something nutritious, I wouldn’t be ordering multiple crunchwrap supremes. Give me an option to make it Al Serrín instead of Al Fresca, and I would choose that as long as the flavor is there.
it depends, at least here in sweden most fast food is honestly absolutely fine as long as that’s not the only thing you eat, and you get sugar free soda, and workers are generally treated okay (if not with great pay).
just stick to eating fast food when you really want it, like a couple times per month when you’re out and about and really can’t be arsed to cook your own food.
Fine. I’ll have 10 servings then.
I know how disastrously unhealthy french fries are, I also know how delicious and addictive they are. So I’ve learned to just not eat any at all. Because it’s impossible to eat just one. or six.
If it were up to scientists we’d all eat leafy greens and water. Because that’s healthiest.
I don’t think such a diet would actually be considered very healthy to be honest, wouldn’t one at least need a protein source?
Yeah you gotta add some beans and rice with occasional nuts
And hot sauce, maybe wrap it in a tortilla
Greens are a source of protein, most whole foods are. But if you ate only greens I highly doubt you’d be able to eat enough calories, and you might run into other issues like mineral toxicity. Calorie bombs get a bad rep but the human diet revolves around them, the problem is many get them in the form of refined sugars and fats.
While it’s obvious you are exagerating, no scientist would say that unless it’s a “scientist”. The right balance of nutrients as an average over time is the correct way.
Yeah. Actual scientists at NASA learned that eating the same gruel every day affected mental health, so folks on the ISS have a pretty varied diet. Even though todays coffee is yesterdays coffee.
Which I think is a good enough excuse to eat more than six fries as a serving.
eat more than six fries, but also make sure to get a burger with vegetables on it and don’t make mcdonalds the only thing you eat
Cows have four stomachs and rechew their food for hours for a reason. Leafy greens are not proper food. (Plus, they’re full of toxins, both from pesticides and from the plants trying to kill anything that eats them, and tasting as horrible as possible to dissuade animals from eating them.)
The only edible parts of the plant are fruits, which are intended for animals to eat them so that they’ll spread the seeds.
If you live in the Pleistocene, maybe. The rest of us have domesticated plants.
Still made of undigestable cellulose, toxins, and whatever chemical horrors we’ve sprayed on top to kill any insect that has managed to evolve a resistance to said toxins.
Fruit is also made of cellulose. All plant cells are.
You’re a loony
Fruit is mostly sugar and water. That’s the food. The cellulose is just the container; you don’t need to digest that, you just shit it with the seeds.
lmao what the fuck? leafy greens are fine, great even because they’re basically just fibre and vitamins which most people need way more of.
yeah, you’re not going to get your caloric or protein requirements from spinach, but you should absolutely eat as much leafy greens as you can stomach alongside the spaghetti and meatballs.
6 shoestring fries? 6 steak fries? 6 potato wedges?
6 loaded potato skins, with tons of cheese and bacon!
You mean half a hollowed out Russet Burbank with cheese and load bearing bacon crumble right?
Or do you mean a 1/4 pound bacon with 2 layers of pepperjack cheese and potato buns?
How I am not fat or had a heat attack is a medical mystery. I admit I have a problem with bacon, but Inshallah, I can stop any time I want.
I see the Scottish Tory Six Chip Twat has got a new sideline as a Harvard professor.
Probably for the best because he’ll be out of work by the end of the year.
Thank you for this.
Don’t let any Belgian see this!
Just go for the really chunky Belgium “pommes frittes” (something which the Dutch call “patate
s”) to follow the letter of the rule but not quite the spirit of it.Also, they’re amazing!
Edit: turns out the Dutch call them “patate” (also friet and frieten) which I incorrectly pluralized in the French way because I also speak French so it just sounded wrong to me in the singular form and I assumed I recalled it wrong. Thanks to all that corrected me and explained it.
(something which the Dutch call “patates”)
we do not
Honestly, the whole amount per serving thing, I feel is more for grazers/snackers
