Wait until anon discovers a hamburger with a glazed donut for a bun and the entire thing is deepfried.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

served with a side drink of milkshake with double cream on it

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Is it a five dollar shake?

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago
[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Haha. At this point a fast food shake probably costs $5.

[-] Earflap@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

I think you think you are joking but that is a real beverage option for said burger. They even add a stick of butter for extra fat content.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

No I don't, I have encountered many americans trying to convince me that this is a reasonable combo...

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Wait till Americans discover deep-fried candy bars, the one area where the Europeans (well, Scots in particular) area ahead of Americans in deep-fried tech.

We've had that for nearly a century, it's just state fair food because even Americans have standards.

Forcing Presidents to eat Iowa Goy Slop on national television like it's a TLC reality TV show called "My 1000 lb Family" is a rite of passage in this country.

[-] Earflap@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago

Haha that's cute! That's where deep frying starts here. We even deep fry butter.

Behold! A monument to American Gluttony!

[-] Rookwood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

Comes with a side of insulin I hope. $800 combo

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

They didn't give you a pack of cigarettes with your meal? How un-yurapeein!

[-] phuntis@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

that's france and finland specifically not all of europe

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 5 days ago

Germany is pretty smokey in some cities

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Americans shop for calories per dollar.

Please don't look at why they do that, we're the best country ever!

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

It's the gateway drug to insulin. Corn syrup infused fats, no vitamins or any other important stuff.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

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.

Found the vegan. lol.

Wait 'til you see the child size soda.

It's 512 ounces, or roughly the size of a two-year old child, if the child were liquefied. It's a real bargain at $1.59.

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 – 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. They’re on the same path as the US for mostly the same reasons, just a few steps back.

That said, if I’m going to be fat, I’d rather it be because of schnitzel the size of a dinner plate or cacio e pepe over a Monster Burger.

[-] Rookwood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Nothing beats a cheeseburger. Btw, it's not cheeseburgers making us fat, for the most part. It's soda, and low quality food products with excess sugar and refined carbs.

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 97 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Railing5132@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Vacationing in Italy was the same - smaller, healthier meals, lots of walking - I felt great and didn't have the shits once on a 2 week trip. It's a daily thing at home.

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

What do you do if you have a bad knee or back?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 74 points 1 week ago

I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

Anyone who looks at the U.S. and thinks it's a fucked up country because of the food just isn't paying attention.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 5 days ago

The food stands out. Like Australia has too many fat people too, but our restaurants don't cater to them like America's - don't try to feed everyone a meal suited to a 200kg man trying for 300.

[-] Rookwood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Most of the food comes from fast food along stroads. It is a core part of the problem. The education system is probably the root, but I wouldn't expect a tourist to understand that.
