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

Serving sizes are always a fucking joke.
Nutritional stats per 100g is the only way
Reminder: Pam Cooking Spray is zero calorie, zero fat, and zero carb
Because there are 746 Servings in a single can of Pam. A serving size of 1/4 a second - which is small enough I'm not sure most people could do it. Just enough to round down from a tiny fraction to zero.
Not a great example. Cooking spray is for making a pan or cover non-stick. You ingest very little of it.
You've obviously not spent enough time around gym bros. I have on multiple occasions overheard conversations about using it as a butter substitute because, "...it has no calories. "
Tell them it is just expensive canola oil and have them switch, knowing that canola has realistic serving sizes.

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
Maybe a baked potato is a special case because you arent using oil to cook it?

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!

6 Waffle Fries.
I eat 6 fries at a time. There are probably ten "servings" in a medium fries at McDonald'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?
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 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.

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.

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

Yeah, 6 per bite is really optimal. One at a time can be fun, but 6 is much more satisfying!
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.
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?

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.
