Yes, the fat macro is way out of balance there at over half the caloric intake. It explains why Americans are known for being sedentary. That much of your calories coming from fat has got to make you lethargic. And then the carbs are all refined and high glycemic index, so you are mixing that with insulin spikes and crashes. Not enough protein so their muscles are underfed and fatigued. It all makes sense.

You think the Baconator is anemic? I think you mean sclerotic.

Well that's pretty much only true at McDonald's because of their immense market share. Most other places still serving large patties and large burgers. Carl's Jr., Wendy's, etc. God knows what Burger King is doing, but I think the Whoppers are still pretty big. Disgusting, but big.

Comes with a side of insulin I hope. $800 combo

A burger with high quality ingredients is not the worst thing you can eat. The worst part about it will be the saturated fat from the red meat.

Yeah and a combo at Five Guys is $25 bucks so it's not like a good cheeseburger is even accessible to most people anymore.

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.

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.

The overwhelming majority of contribution in society comes from the working class.

Taking money and then giving it back is the bare fucking minimum a person can do. It's like taking the whole cake and then giving back a thin slice. Hardly commendable.

I've run across Wikipedia hate as well on Lemmy.

There will always be issues with Wikipedia, but overwhelmingly it is a useful and reliable resource. Also, "its sources" are any reputable journalism from around the world.

You forget that financially the DNC strategy is very sound, even lucrative. This can go on for a very long time and things will get worse before they get better. Winning elections is not the objective when money is what fuels the machine.
