This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's the gateway drug to insulin. Corn syrup infused fats, no vitamins or any other important stuff.

Changing $12 for what is functionally agricultural waste product is so fucking funny.

Ground beef is what's left on the cow after all the choice bits have been carved off. The bun is so thick with preservatives most organisms literally can't eat it. The sauces are just colored corn syrup. The produce is bottom of the barrel.

This isn't food, it's industrial runoff. You'd eat better picking through the trash of a real grocery store.

Americans shop for calories per dollar.

Please don't look at why they do that, we're the best country ever!

Wait until anon discovers a hamburger with a glazed donut for a bun and the entire thing is deepfried.

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.

Forcing Presidents to eat Iowa Goy Slop on national television like it's a TLC reality TV show called "My 1000 lb Family" is a rite of passage in this country.

Haha that's cute! That's where deep frying starts here. We even deep fry butter.

Behold! A monument to American Gluttony!

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Vacationing in Italy was the same - smaller, healthier meals, lots of walking - I felt great and didn't have the shits once on a 2 week trip. It's a daily thing at home.

Between 1975 and 2016, the prevalence of obesity in Europe rose 138%, with a 21% rise between 2006 and 2016. The prevalence of overweight rose by 51% between 1975 and 2016, and by 8% between 2006 and 2016. It is expected that by 2030, over half of Europe will live with obesity – up to 89% in some countries. No Member State is on track to reach the target of halting the rise in obesity by 2025.

The proliferation of unhealthy eating is a big problem for most of Europe, too. They’re on the same path as the US for mostly the same reasons, just a few steps back.

That said, if I’m going to be fat, I’d rather it be because of schnitzel the size of a dinner plate or cacio e pepe over a Monster Burger.

Nothing beats a cheeseburger. Btw, it's not cheeseburgers making us fat, for the most part. It's soda, and low quality food products with excess sugar and refined carbs.

I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

Anyone who looks at the U.S. and thinks it's a fucked up country because of the food just isn't paying attention.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

The food stands out. Like Australia has too many fat people too, but our restaurants don't cater to them like America's - don't try to feed everyone a meal suited to a 200kg man trying for 300.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Most of the food comes from fast food along stroads. It is a core part of the problem. The education system is probably the root, but I wouldn't expect a tourist to understand that.
