How did we get here from a time where the hamburger was a smaller part of a meal surrounded by bright, fresh colors and simple tastes?

We can stop glorifying gluttony. Why are there so many cooking shows involving someone going around and eating very unhealthy food?

Stop eating out.

That's the issue. It's made a joke out of gluttony being taboo. "Haha, look at how much food that is! That's way more than is acceptable! But he's going to eat it all anyway, haha! That's the opposite of the norm and he knows it, but he's still doing it!"

You can't. Once you are hooked on the big stuff the smaller food just looks inferior and like it's limiting you

Other user is right though, when you eat at home you do not have to compete with the gluttony advertisers. And you could probably go to restaurants with traditional servings as well. Think of the type of restaurant in expensive hotels.

I would kill for a burger like that..

unfortunately you can only buy mini micro sized hamburgers in Europe

...

also you pay 10 bucks for 4 chicken nuggets here.

tell them that good things come in small packages

WowowOWowoWowo

Why the fuck would you want to eat that thing.
>I guess ill have some top bun with cheesy meat this bite
>ill eat some bottom bun and veggies with some meat down here.
>SURE AM GLAD I GOT A KNIFE AND FORK TO EAT THIS FUCKING BURGER
Getting sick of our culture.

wadda ya some kinda faggot?

American cuisine is basically perfect food. There's a reason American restaurants are found all over the world from China to Europe. People deny this because they know their country's cuisine is simply inferior.

The picture is actually of something that was developed for body builders. But then the public found out about it and OMG LETS PUT IT ON A TV CHANNEL DEVOTED TO OVEREATING

The jews seem to love us turning into pigs, despite pork not being kosher.

Only thing youd be killing is yourself you fat fuck.

I used to body build and know body builders. We would never fucking eat that garbage.

only mcdonalds is all over the world.. and it's garbage for years now

it's not just the food though it's also the execution. People rarely eat american food at home.

t. obese American

porn for fat people

this is empirically true

If McDonalds is garbage than why is it the most popular restaurant worldwide? Nobody forces people to flock to McDonalds in droves.

Intermittent fasting

One big meal a day

Saves money, time, and is easier to restrict calories while still getting to enjoy the feast

Okay. Well, that's why it was created. That's the Thurmanator, which was made for the Arnold Classic and named after the dude. Maybe nobody ate it, but that's where it came from.

Replace the bun with some vegetables, reduce the amount of cheese, remove everything fried, don't cook the burger in 3 litre of oil, use a grill or oven instead with zero extra oil, replace soda with water. That's it.

I used to do a lot of drugs and as a a result my stomach shrunk. Now I am a healthy size and drug free but i still don’t need to eat anything more than a regular size hamburger to be full for 6-8 hours. My story isn’t one for emulation but essentially not getting fat comes down to control and portion sizes

>Its cheap and ease of access

(You) a moron?

That meal looks to be 1600-2200 calories. Pretty reasonable for one meal in a day. Still ingesting a metric fuckton of cholesterol and salt though.

they also have effective propaganda and the place is engineered to make it feel nice. It's a bit like an IKEA.

No shit. Kind of absurd, the body can metabolize only so much protein per consumption. Eat too much and you just shit it out.
Frequent meals high in protein throughout the day maximizes protein absorption, thus maximizes gains.
Whoever made that burger isnt the brightest nor any body builder thatd actually eat it.
>typical dumbass americans

Go vegan. Reduce caloric density.

How would you even go about eating that? It looks tasty, but would cause a mess.

>Cheap
Where does this meme come from? A fucking McRib menu (with fries and soda) costs almost fucking 7 Euro. Is it cheaper in the US?

Ironically with a knife and fork id guess. Itd turn into a deconstructed burger after some point. In the end its stupid meme food.

A medium combo would come up to 6.50USD. Theres probably real food ingredients in yours, cabbage.

It's the kind of problem that solves itself.

The French eat snails (literally third world tier) and the British eat fish sticks and potato chips. American cuisine is popular because it's delicious and people everywhere in the world love it.

>America
>culture

Much

At least ours doesnt revolve around drinking entire 5ths of vodka and sucking dicks at a basketball court.

>PRICE OF FREEDOM

How are you supposed to eat this monstrosity?

by making things bigger so that they will be better.

>sucking dicks at a basketball court
that's your job, Pablo

Snails are god tier if cooked properly you fucking faggot, way better than any shitty american burger.

Bigger is better has always been the way restaurants do food in the US, I read an article from the early 1800's where someone from europe couldn't believe the portion sizes in American restaurants.

in my country we eat this:

also the average price in france for those 20/25 bucks per snail... they are really expensive.

Reason is that are difficult and time consuming to prepare. You have to wash them 10 times for example

Get back to work, Eddie.

>ewwww mom go put some tendies in the meme pan granma left us after she died of stroke at a healthy age of 35

>Russia

>If McDonalds is garbage than why is it the most popular restaurant worldwide?

Oh god this, i hate faggots that pretend mcdonalds is the worst thing ever. Just don't eat it all the time.

Youd wish faggot, if not for based putin and his views towards gays youd be chugging dicks like vodka unchecked.

5 dollars 4 two Big Macs. It’s much cheaper to eat fast food than cook your own. Healthy food at restaurants is a luxury.

>also the average price in france for those 20/25 bucks per snail... they are really expensive.
This. Only an american retard could think snails are cheap.
Shitty factory meat and HFCS bombs (aka "soda") are cheap, not snails.

its the opposite here in Europe... 15 dollars for a simple hamburger menu is no exception...

I can buy 2 Ftira's for that money , which will be enough for 3 days..

Portland Oregon has a food cart called Brunch Box. It's so damn tasty. They make a burger called The Redonkadonk.

It's a cheeseburger with two kinds of cheese plus bacon, fried egg and spam and the buns are grilled cheese sandwiches made on Texas toast.

So it goes Texas toast, cheese, Texas toast, meat, cheese, cheese, bacon, ham, fried egg, spam, Texas toast, cheese, Texas toast.

Behold!

also people eat them here in Malta btw :)

Here it's 8.5€ for the cheapest McMenu worth buying, 6-7€ for a decent single-serving meal at a family-run restaurant.

dirty bulking is the best soyboy
imagine eating chicken with rice and broccoli half the time
disgusting

get a skill fag

>t. proud citizen of UNITED STATES OF POZ

I’m not saying I like it. I’m just saying that’s why middle class people eat fast food all the time.

That's an appetizer, boy.

I have to say I am legit jelly looking at these burgers.

Probably for the better

No it's not. You can buy a pound of rice for a dollar, a pound of beef for under four dollars, and a can of vegetables and a can of beans for a dollar fifity. You can eat off of this for at least two meals as opposed to two over priced burgers. You could also buy a one pound box of spaghetti and two jars of sauce for less than five dollars.

Not surprising that you have pictures of fags.

even your school food is trash, it's not only a problem of fast food
get your shit together, why are you so fat?

And it tastes like ground beef with rice and beans. Also you have to cook it. Both parents working means no more cooking

Heart attacks.

t. Europoor expat who can't handle a nice burger because he's a giant fucking pussy

>muh spaghetti lasanga ravioli

nobody cares, your cuisines produce enough fat fuck u stinking spaghetti nigger, get lost luigi

Americans can only dream of food like this

Any other NJ bros ever had a fat sandwich?

Stop eating food.

you fail to see the glory in America. everything about our society is made to encourage stupid people (aka the vast majority) to spend their hard earned cash without putting in any effort into long-term accumulating currency.
do you really want things to change? do you? or should you just raise your family according to YOUR values and then profit knowing Americans (aka the non-whites and fat trailer park retards) are programmed to buy useless/excessive trash?
my stock portfolio rests its case.

Buy a crock pot for under twenty dollars. Also toss some onions, mushrooms, garlic, black and red pepper in there. If your lazy like me you can buy an appropriate sauce in there too and it's like you actually know hot do a thing or two in the kitchen. Also if you want burgers so bad make your own. It's called hamburger meat for a reason.

>triggered lardass
eat less you dumb fuck, it's that simple
have a pretentious dish to trigger even more your burning asshole

0.19 lbs of beef in a big mac, so two big macs will be ~0.4 lbs beef.

delivice.com/product/homestyle-80-lean-20-fat-chuck-patties/

$7.50 for 1.2 lbs. This are three double big mac orders or $2.50 for two big macs. Bread is cheap and there are almost no other lettuce or onion. Almost no sauce either.

You can set the remaining patties into the fridge or freeze them.

I’m not saying I like it I’m just saying how it is.

>eat less you dumb fuck, it's that simple

It's all carbs, cheese, and barely any meat. Literally fuckin soy the diet.

is that the backed sludge from your mom's hairy ass, guido?

go eat some nigger burgers

wuts dat

I had a very similar burger in Atlanta at a place called "The Vortex." It's awesome

An actually meal tastes better than anything that comes from a fast food restaurant. You have a horrible palate if you prefer Burger king to home cooked pork chops in vodka sauce or a nice roast.

I've seen your mom, she's anything but a small package.

the only correct answer.

this here you need to spend 5 dollar for one decen sized burger
not faggots allowed

That's very offensive of you to use such slurs when referring to you fellow countryman, Juan

Two working parents encourages the trend of not cooking for yourself. Specially if it’s cheaper to buy fast food. It costs about 150 bucks where I live for a weeks worth of food for 2 people

No it's cheaper to cook your own food but real food in real restaurant are expensive

calories and nutrition per dollar, you're completely right. the thing is, buying ingredients in bulk means that one needs to have the facilities to cook the food, store uneaten food, and also store uncooked things, like meat and vegetables without spoilage.

many low income people simply don't have easy access to these things we take for granted, and then they basically end up living essentially hand to mouth with fast food, while spending more per meal.

this is demonstrably false. now there is a point at which it wouldn't be cheaper (meaning if you were to raise your own cow, procure your own cheese, etc.etc.etc.) but generally speaking eating out- be it fast food or whatever - you're wasting money. the powder mix they use to make fountain soda goes for like a quarter and makes several hundred sodas. let that digest.

not only sneils, the eat FROGS and never get a shower. They are well known poorfags

It's because it's good you fucking fag. Food chemists have engineered the perfect recipe for burgers and fries to pair with a delicious Coca Cola(TM).
You can get energy for full day's labor with a quarter pounder cheese + poutine (which is the god-tier menu choice from maccie's)
If "cheap and easy" was the only formula for WINNING then everyone would eat a blended slurry of gruel they got in bulk from the corner store.
