Tip: Tiger skin eggs are a Chinese dish, but you can make them with Indian spices as well, like what I do. Simply boil an egg, then fry in oil spiced how you like it.

Delicious, I also like to let them soak in soy sauce if I put them in my ramen. Works with hard or soft boiled but it's better with soft.

Blud, you think you know something about something but you don't know shit about shit.

All the way up until the '80s, fast food was a once in a while thing that people got, the french fries that you received were what are considered the child size now.

The quality of fast food has dropped but the prices increased, so people here in America are eating less and less fast food, but their weight is staying the same.

This is because we have an entire nation that thinks it's okay to drink soda like it's fucking WATER, even though the typical 12 oz can contains FORTY GRAMS of sugar.

You mix that in with the fact that we have a laissez-faire attitude when it comes to additives and other unseemly things in our food (hopefully not for much longer now that RFK Jr's cracking the whip) and that's a recipe for trouble.

So basically I'm going to have to school a non-american on being an American, as usual. You want to blame somebody for how fat the western world has become, you don't blame Domino's. You blame Monsanto and Coca-Cola.

Stuff was definitely cheaper, I don’t know about smaller though. I’ve seen some old fast food advertisements and some Big Macs people kept (for some reason), and everything seemed fucking huge. For so cheap too. I could easily demolish a Big Mac but the old 70s ones, I’d probably have to split in half. I mean I don’t know though, you’re the one that was there (iirc?)

My main issue with modern fast food is that it’s betrayed its purpose, fast food. It’s quick food you get when you’re hungry and you don’t really have time or money to cook. Now it’d just be faster and cheaper to get groceries. McDonald’s fries is still good after all these years though, but their nuggets have sorta started falling off I think. Unfortunate cause I have a lot of nostalgia with them.

I’m also “I don’t care” when it comes to additives, well, until everyone else starts caring cause suddenly everyone wants to act like your mom and lecture you on red 40 or whatever. I join in just to avoid the harassment, though sometimes I still have to deal with the ass reaming, we’ve been using this bullshit pink salt in my house for months cause my dad wants to soapbox about how evil iodized is

And he's right sodium is a major killer of blacks.


But overall what I was trying to say about fast food was the portions were extremely small in the 50s and 60s, then they got disgustingly big starting in the 70s. But the difference between the 70s and '80s and now is that fast food used to be a TREAT. You didn't go out and eat at five times a week because you were too lazy to cook.

In my house because I was poor we got home cooked meals, and we would go to McDonald's once or twice a year when we had a good report card. The other time of the year we would go is when they would have the Shamrock shake in March.

What I'm trying to say is as the portions got bigger people were eating there less. And now that it's so expensive people are just not eating there because it's ridiculous so people are eating there less. Who wants to spend sit-down restaurant prices on garbage food that some 16-year-old jerked off in?

I put the blame squarely on the amount of high fructose corn syrup we have in everything. People are even letting their kids chug Pepsi like it's water, and that's worse than eating a Big Mac everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner.

TL;DR: it's not the fast food we've ever had to worry about that gets demonized it's the soda.

And as far as additives go you need to look up the company Monsanto and what they do to our food. This isn't just red dye number 40, it's genetically engineered crops that could be potentially dangerous.

That’s what’s crazy to me, I could get significantly cheaper food at an IHop than a McDonalds, I mean, 3 dollars for a hashbrown? I have no clue what Ronald was smoking with that one. Everyone’s complaining about it too, I wonder if it’ll change, hopefully cause I do genuinely like the restaurant.

Oh, I get being concerned about stuff in vegetables, that’s kinda supposed to be a “safe food” for most people. It’s when people complain about food dye in their cake that makes me roll my eyes, “My junk food is… gasp! Unhealthy!” Ya that’s what you kinda signed up for. Me eating junk food is me signing to the company “I don’t care, I just want something that tastes good”. It’s putting so much pressure on something that’s supposed to relieve the pressure. I want my junk food junky and my health food healthy, not the legit other way around. Where my Cheetos are some cardboard tasting power food and my bell pepper is growing an arm.
 
If we're talking about cheetos the crunchy jalapeno cheddar ones are my favorite.

And knowing you I bet they are flamin hot Cheetos that you wash down with a big bottle of Sprite 😏

I actually don’t really like flaming hot Cheetos, they’re not really “flaming hot” in my opinion :Toughguy: I do very much like Sprite though, kek. I just love lemon anything. I wish they didn’t replace Sierra Mist with that Starry shit

I think people should start looking at calories as an investment of course people should have a caloric intake goal/budget. But when someone is looking at a food they should ask themselves if the food they want is worth the caloric investment.

People should also learn how to cook, and people have no reason not too. Hell even on YouTube people can learn how to cook from professional chefs and personal cooks.
