I eat 6 fries at a time. There are probably ten “servings” in a medium fries at McDonald’s.
Serving sizes are always a fucking joke.
Reminder: Pam Cooking Spray is zero calorie, zero fat, and zero carb
Because there are 746 Servings in a single can of Pam. Just enough to round down from a tiny fraction to zero.
Not a great example. Cooking spray is for making a pan or cover non-stick. You ingest very little of it.
So what would be the serving size of a baked potato? Because a single potato can make more than 6 fries and usually when you have a baked potato, it’s the whole potato.
Maybe a baked potato is a special case because you arent using oil to cook it?
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.
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?
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 capitalism exploitation.
There’s no such thing as cheap food.
Heard that in a TED talk and they’re words to live by.
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!

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.
I know how 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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
