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.

Serving sizes are always a fucking joke.
Nutritional stats per 100g is the only way
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.
Baked potatoes aren’t cooked in grease which adds a bit of calories
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
I've never had a problem with having more than 1 serving at a time before and I'm not about to stop now
6 shoestring fries? 6 steak fries? 6 potato wedges?
6 loaded potato skins, with tons of cheese and bacon!
Shut the fuck up, nerd.
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.
This is the information we need. Steak fries and wedges can be on the big side, amounting to something like half a typical russet potato: more than enough starch for a meal.
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.

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.

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.
There's no such thing as cheap food.
Heard that in a TED talk and they're words to live by.

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.

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.
Yeah, 6 per bite is really optimal. One at a time can be fun, but 6 is much more satisfying!
Fine. I'll have 10 servings then.
I'll take 40 servings of fries in one plate please.
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

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

Shut the fuck up, nerd
Honestly, the whole amount per serving thing, I feel is more for grazers/snackers
