    I always get suspicious when the headline says something along “scientist says you should”. Because typical scientistic statements are more conditional: “If you do A, B might happen”, or even “B becomes more likely”.
    Checking the actual quote:

    “I think it would be nice if your meal came with a side salad and six French fries, […]”
    Yeah, really good reporting…

      Remember, the point of reporting today is not to inform, but to gain clicks.

    • NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah I think it was more of a hyperbolic comment to the reporter rather than an official recommendation. He thinks we should eat more greens and less fried stuff, which is in line with pretty much every nutritional guideline out there

      At least for empirical research, I would go even further and say that most individual studies don’t hold much weight and that the authors of such studies shouldn’t receive too much credence until their findings have been replicated multiple times by independent researchers.

    Which mean i can eat up to 6 of these per serving. Make sense.

    Yeah, if we could stop ridiculing sience by parroting (and probably misrepresenting) stuff like this, that would be great…

    When I see those headlines I don’t wonder anymore why some people dont take science as a whole seriously.

      Assuming the downvotes are from people missing the joke?

      The joke is that by asking for 6 fries, they’re inadvertently making 6 orders of fries

        Mine comes from the posting of a censored meme. I’ll downvote everyone of them I see. I’m so god damned fed up with the corpo-sanitised internet.

    I’ve been calorie counting for a while now, and one of the things I’ve found is that if you get one average burger and medium fries, the fries are often more calories. A medium fry at Chick Fil A is 560 kcal. Personally, I’d rather get a second sandwich.

    • LovableSidekick@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I can’t even eat an entire Whopper, or typical adult-size burger. I don’t how anybody puts away a second one.

        By eating more than the stomach really wants over and over until it expands. Then you can eat more and more and it expands!

        Then it sucks trying to eat less because the body is so user to the more the less feels like shit!

        Loved having to eat until I felt sick as a kid. Totally didn’t fuck anything up. disgruntled sounds

    Don’t visit Belgium.

    source
    • rustydrd@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      In Belgium, they would adapt by serving you six fries that have been fried in pork fat twenty times over.

        And then doused in mayo. Droooool.

        Belgian “frietkoten” have a magical capability. No matter how hard you to minimise your order. You always, and I do mean always, end up with too many. Even if you take that last extra scoop into account.

    Ok, but they don’t say how many servings I should eat, so… 100 servings it is.

    Fries contain vitamin A and your body needs carbs and fat. Also, fed is best. Shut up, professor.
