    That's also in the Japan market, not in the US.

    What is absurd is blaming a company for catering to their demographic. What is absurd is blaming a company for offering something that people can simply choose not to order. What is absurd is bananalettucebutterflyhorse.

    McDonalds fries are not absurd.

    I agree my country eats 1/3 more than other countries. when I went to Belarus the portions were a lot smaller. I took mental notes as to their portions. now I just need to implement the portion control and eat healthier.

    Um... it's something from The Alpaca Yarn Company, fingering weight hand-dyed. Knit into something called "21" or "25"... something like that. It's a curved scarf, pattern available on Ravelry. (I work at a yarn shop, so sometimes the yarns and patterns run together.)

    ^^This. It is not rocket science to figure the serving size to fit in your macros and if there is leftover fries don't eat it. It goes the same as any fast food/ junk food item.

    Anyone else get this very yucky slimy coating in their throat when they eat stuff like this or is it just me? I cough and cough I hate it the main reason I can't stand fast food.

    What's absurd is people expecting the government to dictate how much of something I can buy. I do my own grocery shopping thank you, I don't need Uncle Sam to approve of it.

    Should we blame all the places selling filling but low calorie foods for those with EDs on the opposite end of the scale?
    (Ok, mass marketing often is.)

    I'd much prefer people empowered themselves, rather than expecting the gubbermint and corporations to do it all for us.

    Sadly, people often don't like to think for themselves!
