You know, that was the one thing I liked in America (actually that, and the fact that there are videogame commercials on TV). Normally, in BK order a mega double whopper cheese menu, and some chicken nuggets or something. I couldn't finish a large double whopper cheese with bacon meal there (no bacon in fast-food in derka derkastan, fuck)

And, it isn't only the fast-food, every portion is huge. Where I live, and when I travel around yurop, in hotels I generally order several things to feed myself. I ordered a club sandwich and a ny steak when I arrived there, and the azn guy warned me "that's a lot of food", I, of course disregarded his advice as I was known to eat monstrous amounts (no, I'm not fat funnily).

Well, I couldn't even finish half of it.

And yes, Americans eat huge amounts of food. One donut (the size of a small (soccer)football) kept me fed for 2 days.

Keep in mind that our gigantic food portions are the result of A) Cheap processed food and B) Our history.

Back in the 1800's we would eat for breakfast 1 Large stack of pancakes, 4 eggs, several pieces of fruit, Sausage, Bacon, Steak and milk before sundown and work until lunch (if we were lucky to have lunch) and then keep working until the sun went down. We used to need that much food, but then unions and factories happened; Days got shorter, work became less harder, we slept longer and so on but our portions remained the same up until the 1980's when food started to become unhealthy and processed. That's when we started to become fat.

They're big because we can make them big. We have that ability. We have the cardboard, the food, the manpower, and the appetite of the fatties and it allows for those portions. The XL fries at McDonald's are really a subconscious assertion of America's dominance.

Also just do as I do and don't ever eat there

holy shit. we have a lot of food. we have some fatasses. it in't an epidemic like britfags want you to think. we still operate on the faggy BMI, which was developed by 1800s Belgian mathemtician Adolphe Quetelet, who wasn't even permitted to allow the index to measure 1800s Belgium's populace. We live in a different time. Michael Jordan and Brad Pitt are considered obese by this shitty system.

Goddamn get over yourselves Eurofags. The fact that we have a lot of food should be seen as a good thing.

Correction: Having a lot of greasy, shitty carbohydrated food is not a good thing.

America has no starving people, true, but your urban poor basically eat like shit... McDonald's worm burguers, and sugary shit, because they can't afford any better than that.

Remember that malnutrition is defined as "having a diet bad for your health", which includes both starving African niggers, and obese fatasses that consume only carbohydrates and none of the vitamins and minerals that they really need.

Let me tell you European and miscellaneous foreign folks a little secret: IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO STUFF YOUR FACE WITH SHIT. Isn't that wonderful? You aren't required by anyone to eat this junk, I don't, and I take pride in the fact that I care at least one iota about my body. Plenty of folks take advantage of the services these establishments render, and, well, you can plainly see the results. But I'll be damned if I'm going to criticize McDonalds or Burger King or any other generic fast food joint for selling it. The only reason they sell it is because people buy it, and I'm just fine with that.

You people are just using this as one more ill-conceived excuse to gang up on us, anyway. And someone is going to come up with yet another thinly veiled anti-American rant after I post this.

>The straightforward explanation of the term is that it means potatoes fried in the French sense of the verb "to cook," which can mean either sautéing or deep-fat frying, while its French origin, frire, unambiguously means deep-frying : frites being its past participle used with a plural feminine substantive, as in pommes de terre frites ("deep-fried potatoes").

>The Dutch concur with a Southern Netherlandish or Belgian origin when referring to Vlaamse frieten ('Flemish fries').

Seems to be closest to Fries between the French, Dutch, Americans and Belgians.

>>The original potato chip recipe was created by Native American/African American chef George Crum, at Moon's Lake House near Saratoga Springs, New York, on August 24, 1853. He was fed up with a customer (the popular myth wrongly identifies him as Cornelius Vanderbilt) who continued to send his fried potatoes back, claiming that they were too thick and soggy. Crum decided to slice the potatoes so thin that they couldn't be eaten with a fork, nor fried normally in a pan, so he decided to stir-fry the potato slices. Against Crum's expectation, the guest was ecstatic about the new chips. They became a regular item on the lodge's menu under the name "Saratoga Chips."

It's all because they give the cows and other animals growth hormone so they grow faster and they can make more money.
This (I think) is not done in Europe because there people come before money and things and such a practice would be considered unethical.
I have first-hand proof:
My cousin hosted two exchange students from Europe. Both of them were very slim, sexy girls, one from the Czech Republic and one from France. They ate about the same amount as they did in Europe all their lives, which wasn't very much to begin with (I saw how much they ate as I was actually living with my cousin's family at this time). Over the span of just TWO WEEKS I watched them grow wider before my very eyes. At the end of their stay (four weeks) they had gained ~15 pounds. I was stunned. We all talked about this for weeks afterward.
The food over here really is quite different than it is over there.
That ON TOP of the ginormous portions is the reason we are the fattest nation on the face of the planet.
