Wait until anon discovers a hamburger with a glazed donut for a bun and the entire thing is deepfried.
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.
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.
Haha that’s cute! That’s where deep frying starts here. We even deep fry butter.
Malnourished european can not handle a real meal.
Explain how we are malnourished when ONE burger contains EVERY food group. You can’t.
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.
Who The fuck is able to drink that much? That’s a fucking bucket just with soda.
Damn, 15L of coke is like 5700 calories. More than double a daily intake only in a fucking soda.
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.
you’ve “slimmed down a lot” in a week? did you also give birth this week? or is this a bias?
It’s not a bias it’s a fact. My shirts are way more loose on me and I’ve been walking an average of 15,000 steps a day. What’s it to you anyway? Are you upset someone’s making a valid criticism about American transportation and eating habits?
Because it’s a week lol you’re talking about losing water from sweating, stored sugars in muscles from exercising, and a teensy bit of fat loss. you haven’t “lost a lot” you’re just on vacation
what’s it to me? I like to tell people when they’re wrong in the internet. you said something stupid. hello.
lifestyle change and public transit are great but you’re just on vacation. and this is coming from someone who lived over a decade in the Americas and Asia both.
I walk an average of 15k steps on a slow day. Before I got promoted out of the shipping dept I used to do 30k/day before I left work, then still had to run errands and do things, now it’s usually more like 10k-15k at work (and some bodyweight squats while I stand at my desk because why not) and go do things. All of this (and here’s the part that will shock you) was in America. You don’t have to be in Japan to walk, even if you don’t walk for work there’s always “exercising.”
Basically you’re saying “usually at home I’m sedentary as fuck but since here I’m a gawking tourist I’ve been doing a modicum of cardio, and it has affected me exactly as expected, but instead of give myself credit for the work I did and realizing I could take this lesson back home I’m going to turn it into some weird contest and continue to blame my environment.”
It is possible to eat healthy here too, though that is admittedly harder especially if you’re dead set on not cooking, yet there are healthy to go options if you know where to look still. Buy a used bike and eat healthy at home, you don’t have to have cool foreign shit to look at while you do it, there’s probably a nice park or trail nearby you can have cool local nature to look at too. Or travel a lot and use that as an excuse if you’re privileged enough, whatever, but make no mistake you don’t have to.
Depending on your starting state/condition, you could slim down a noticeable amount during a week, sure.
you could also just say random shit on the internet too, wonder which is more likely
look i think America is a torturous shit hole just like the rest of lemmy but the above point is just fucking stupid
They didn’t give you a pack of cigarettes with your meal? How un-yurapeein!
