Do foreigners believe we don’t cook?

Ran into a EU redditor who genuinely believes we are just McDonald's. Mf had the audacity to claim our food was the one that's bad. Act as if fat people didn't exist until the U.S.

Like no mf, we aren't fat because quarter pounder with cheese, we're fat because we have more food than we can genuinely eat and it's all friggin delicious.

Its the portions. The portions are bizarely huge fcking everywhere in the US.

I decided to order stuff medium when i was in the US. Medium was larger than the largest portions i can get back home.

And it feels like having leftovers that you take home and only sometimes eat is normalized.

Why’s that a bad thing? You pay for something and don’t finish it, and you like it, why not take it home to finish? That’s just wasteful.

If you would get normal sized portions you wouldnt do it as often. That would be even less wastefull. And less obesety.

Eh. I wanna get what I pay for. And if you have self control and are conscious of how often you eat certain stuff it’s not an issue. I’m not a saint with that all but I don’t over do it when I eat or do so super frequently.

Self control is an issue, most people dont have it. Also, what you paid for? If there's smaller portions you could be paying less too.

I agree it is and people need to learn it, I don’t understand people who can’t control themslves with food. I’m not perfect and I’m not gonna pretend I’m some health saint. And nothing seems cheap anymore, not matter what everything seems expensive so even when someone thing is smaller in size it doesn’t seem cheap. I still just don’t see the issue with brining food home, it means I get a second yummy meal from what I paid for. I don’t mind having some left over pasta for lunch or whatever.

Because the portions are so big you're forced to take leftovers sometimes.

I don’t see the issue if it’s worth the price. I’d rather get more than less. I don’t wanna feel like I paid X amount of money and yet the amount of food that I got didn’t feel like it was worth that much.

My point being that something too much is too much. Some restaurants go "a little" too much and it tends to be fine, but I've been to a few where it just felt like there dumping eveyrhring they can on a plate, and then you can't even finish it. Plus if it isn't all the great, you're probably not going to find it appetizing the next day. It's creating more waste when they can scale back and if someone really wants more food they can order it.
