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…
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.
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
If i ordered one fries i get this:
Which mean i can eat up to 6 of these per serving. Make sense.
You ordered the “Party Size,” obviously.
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.
The what up?
The funk.
Dafunq they doing over there?
i always try to follow this but the restaurants keep screwing me over
i ask for six fries and they give me hundreds of the damn things
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.
Who says you only need to eat one serving though?
I identify as a family of four.
Ok, but they don’t say how many servings I should eat, so… 100 servings it is.
100 servings of fries
Heckuva way to die
Like grease on a pie
No peperon-…i
…uggghh please give me a napkin
What size for the cuts?
Is this true
It was an hyperbole that flew over the journalists’ heads: https://www.sciencealert.com/you-should-only-be-eating-six-fries-per-serving-advises-harvard-nutritionist
What’s the hyperbole? The guy sounded pretty serious
I think the last restaurant I visited had read this article…
43 servings per meal is standard.
Fries contain vitamin A and your body needs carbs and fat. Also, fed is best. Shut up, professor.
SIX! I shove more than that into my mouth in one go, fucking six…. Oooo look at Mr 6 chips over there, he’s sooooo good at portioning his food, god I want to fuck him…… Said nobody.

Don’t visit Belgium.

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