I think the last restaurant I visited had read this article...

The what up?

The funk.

Is this true

Ok, but they don't say how many servings I should eat, so... 100 servings it is.

100 servings of fries

Heckuva way to die

Like grease on a pie

No peperon-..i

......uggghh please give me a napkin

If i ordered one fries i get this:

Which mean i can eat up to 6 of these per serving. Make sense.

It was an hyperbole that flew over the journalists' heads: https://www.sciencealert.com/you-should-only-be-eating-six-fries-per-serving-advises-harvard-nutritionist

Dafunq they doing over there?

Going defunct.

Yeah, if we could stop ridiculing sience by parroting (and probably misrepresenting) stuff like this, that would be great...

When I see those headlines I don't wonder anymore why some people dont take science as a whole seriously.

What's the hyperbole? The guy sounded pretty serious

Dafunq they doin' there?

Said Mr. Belaire

As he retired to his Muffin Mc'Mansion

Fries contain vitamin A and your body needs carbs and fat. Also, fed is best. Shut up, professor.

You ordered the "Party Size," obviously.

43 servings per meal is standard.

SIX! I shove more than that into my mouth in one go, fucking six.... Oooo look at Mr 6 chips over there, he's sooooo good at portioning his food, god I want to fuck him...... Said nobody.

Amid the French fry furore, Rimm has since clarified that he was merely suggesting restaurants offer smaller plates of fries.

Smaller, not literally 6 small fries.

Targeting number of fries instead of weight would also be unscientific, 6 needle thickness and 6 quarter edges fries are not equivalent.

He wasn't - he was deliberately saying something attention-grabbing so people would realize how unhealthy the typical restaurant fries are made. He knows a serving of six fries is unrealistic.

Of course, people are too closed-minded and insecure to be that honest with themselves about the facts they don't want to hear — preferring instead to attack and ridicule others so they can overcompensate for their well-buried guilt over wanting to eat something they deep down know is very bad for them.

"Perpetual_teenager" has entered the chat.

i always try to follow this but the restaurants keep screwing me over

i ask for six fries and they give me hundreds of the damn things

Do you wanna funk?

I always get suspicious when the headline says something along "scientist says you should". Because typical scientistic statements are more conditional: "If you do A, B might happen", or even "B becomes more likely".
Checking the actual quote:

"I think it would be nice if your meal came with a side salad and six French fries, [...]"

Yeah, really good reporting...

Exercise portion control

How many fries you eat matters more than things like the fries’ surface area or the type of oil used in making them, Lindsay Moyer, a senior nutritionist at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said.

Consider, for instance, that a large serving of McDonald’s fries is 510 calories, nearly the same as a Big Mac (540 calories), she said. The Agriculture Department lists a serving of fries as three ounces, which amounts to 12 to 15 individual potato sticks, or about 140 calories.
Split your order, get the smallest portion possible or substitute with a side salad or some kind of green vegetable, Ms. Moyer said, or get a baked white or sweet potato instead.
“There aren’t a lot of people who are sending back three-quarters of an order of French fries,” Dr. Rimm said. “I think it would be nice if your meal came with a side salad and six French fries.”

Here's the original article with context. The folks were absolutely serious about what they were saying up until the Internet blew up on them

I can still eat as many chips as I want though, right?

Assuming the downvotes are from people missing the joke?

The joke is that by asking for 6 fries, they're inadvertently making 6 orders of fries

Edit: for context, votes were 1:2 at the time

McDonald's salads have more calories than their burgers though.

What size for the cuts?

I've just checked here in France. One BicMac contains 530 kcal while a caesar salad contains 402 kcal. A Royal Cheese also contains 525 kcal.
Maybe it's different in your country but here there is a pattern where salad have less calories than burgers.

Who says you only need to eat one serving though?

Mine comes from the posting of a censored meme. I'll downvote everyone of them I see. I'm so god damned fed up with the corpo-sanitised internet.

He told a reporter “I think it would be nice if your meal came with a side salad and six French fries”

It was more of a slightly hyperbolic comment that was suggesting that we eat more greens and fewer fried foods

Yeah I think it was more of a hyperbolic comment to the reporter rather than an official recommendation. He thinks we should eat more greens and less fried stuff, which is in line with pretty much every nutritional guideline out there

Don’t visit Belgium.

In Belgium, they would adapt by serving you six fries that have been fried in pork fat twenty times over.

I identify as a family of four.

At least for empirical research, I would go even further and say that most individual studies don't hold much weight and that the authors of such studies shouldn't receive too much credence until their findings have been replicated multiple times by independent researchers.

Don't you try and science me out of my well deserved heart attack you ensconced bastard. I get to pick how I die, not you.

Belgian “frietkoten” have a magical capability.
No matter how hard you to minimise your order. You always, and I do mean always, end up with too many. Even if you take that last extra scoop into account.

...what did i censor in my text?

Remember, the point of reporting today is not to inform, but to gain clicks.

And then doused in mayo. Droooool.

Wait so the restaurant fries are 6 a (healthy) serving or not?

Am I gonna have to read the article??? :(

Royale with cheese!

This researcher clearly eats fries too often.

I eat 7 and often more, I like the risk and adventure

That's kilograms, right?

Yeah, life's so unfair like that.

I’ve been calorie counting for a while now, and one of the things I’ve found is that if you get one average burger and medium fries, the fries are often more calories. A medium fry at the place I ate yesterday is 560 kcal. Personally, I’d rather get a second sandwich.
