Should the U.S. Government Ban Commercial French Fries? Or simply sin-tax them?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I believe that quick-sale french fries (and potato chips in all forms, but they are less commonly eaten) are the leading cause of cancer along with cigarettes. They are cancer sticks, but the ones you eat not the ones you smoke. Also, they are terrible for your heart, and your immune system. They cause acne (even in adults), eczema, and rash, and inflammation throughout the body with all of the unnatural processed and chemically created toxins. The combination of heated vegetable oil, the processed gunk in the factory potatoes, and above all... the carcinogen acrylamide.

We need to wean ourselves off fast food and fattening junk food and it starts with getting rid of fries and potato chips. They are so disgusting and unhealthy.

Potatoes, when eaten properly, are actually a solid vegetable. Though not the most rich in antioxidants and healthy phytopigments, they are a complete source of many essential nutrients more than most other vegetables, and they provide resistant starch which benefits your gut health and immune system, and provides prebiotics which is probiotic food. However, this only applies to baked, mashed, boiled, etc. potatoes. Pan-sauteed and pan-seared is somewhat in the middle, but still acceptable. Home-cooked fries that are pan-fried and not deep-fried are acceptable, though you're cooking out a lot of the health benefits they aren't carcinogenic as long as you avoid vegetable oil.

However, all the disgusting commercial fries and potato chips should be outright banned, or at minimum be treated as tobacco and be taxed to death. And it's absolutely ridiculous that those toxic cancer sticks known as fries are still being fed to our children. They should be strongly regulated at the U.S. federal level.

Thoughts??

I haven't had a decent fry over a counter since they quit using animal fat to fry 'em in. They're worthless now. I wouldn't hit a dog in the ass with 'em.

For awhile back close to the century turn Lay's came out with a fat free potato chip. That GD the was freakin' delicious. Less than 1% fat per serving. It was crazy, but the health nuts in this country started in about it being unhealthy, (forget the word used in making of this chip///started with a U I believe). But they wouldn't let it alone, slowly but surely the bags started disappearing and I had to go from one chain to another hording what I could scavenge until they was gone for good.

Kind of on the same subject, Keebler made that Nutter Butter cookie which I wasn't crazy about until they created a chocolate Nutter Butter. That fuckin' thing dunked in 2% milk was a delicacy I shall take to the grave. Gone abruptly. I called the toll free number but they weren't the mood to talk about it. Another great food discontinued for no apparent reason.

[HemisfairArena]

Has nothing to do with potatoes, pal,,,,its all about the sodium,,,,salt,,,,,,so you should have just said federal regulation on sodium/salt,,,,now they arent the exact same thing but we can get into that on another day,,,,but salt is the #1 cause of high blood pressure and high blood pressure is the #1 cause of death. End of story. You add the right amount of sodium/salt to any food and it becomes lethal to your health,,,,that is fact,,,,so dont just attack potato chips and fast food,,,,attack canned soups with obscene amounts of sodium,,,ect,,,,,,so the question at the end of the day should be ban sodium/salt,,,yes or no?,,,,,

Greatest discontinued food was McDonalds fried pies in the 80s. They were light and crispy. Then in the 90s they replaced that shit with these heavy, sludgy, baked pies that were gross and McDonalds has been worthless since.

90s health trends were so fucking stupid. Fat bad. So we got those amazing light and airy McDonalds fried pies replaced with the heavy disgusting baked ones. Animal fat bad but fat from vegetable oil good now? That stupid myth still lives on. When I lived in California people would try my refried beans and want the recipe and then when I told them I fried them in lard they'd get disgusted like if I somehow did it in canola oil instead it would be better for you when in reality it would just make them taste like shit. At least in Texas a lot of people recognize lard isn't any worse than any other fat your fry in. And then the anti fat craze of the 90s is what led to everything whether at the grocery store or in fast food being pumped full of sugar and now the nation has been ridiculously obese and suffering a type 2 diabetes epidemic for the last 25 years.

Worst part is McDonalds still makes those pies from the 80s in a lot of the rest of the world while we get stuck with the dogshit. Mexican McDonalds still has the fried pies. Japan too. I think India, China, Spain also.

Even Mexico uses HFCS for some of their Coke nowadays since it's cheaper there too in some places. Except they don't give the ingredients on the Cokes sold in Mexico so you don't really know if you're getting one with sugar or not. Even the 'Mexican Cokes' they make specifically for the US market in the red label bottle that are marketed as having real sugar got busted for having HFCS in a video I saw on youtube where someone took a bottle of it to a lab to test if it really had sugar.

HFCS is something that should definitely be regulated if not out right banned, but so should artificial sweeteners. Diet pop (soda) is worse than regular, but if you put cane sugar it'd be not too bad on the health front at all and tastier... and realistically shouldn't be more expensive.

I 100 percent agree with this.

This was a government / big pharma conspiracy for sure.

Agreed with this... Go read some Talon Fitness on Youtube, he's one of my favorite Youtube channels. He's not partisan at all and he explains nutrition science of food in depth. His tier lists on every food group and category are excellent.

He has Lard, Tallow, and Chicken Fat as "A" tier cooking fats and all the vegetable oils are in the "D" tier, I believe.

They've already increased way enough over the last 2 years without any improvement in quality or healthfulness.

What we need is to, first reverse inflation (prices) back to 2019, possibly get back to the gold standard, and have a 1-2% inflation federal law / mandate that triggers sky-high interest rates to axe inflation whenever it crosses the 2.0% inflation threshold. Make sure GDP and the stock market never gets too high or out of control. Encourage more bonds, high yield CDs, less stocks.

Cheap borrowing power for too long and the stimulus crap of 2020 caused this. Yes, Trump signed it into law, but if he'd vetoed it he almost certainly would have gotten the veto overriden with a 67% majority and looked like a clown in an election year, to all except those who are actually financially responsible like a Rand Paul type. It was a lose-lose scenario for both Trump and America.

I don't think I could tell a cane sugar Coke from a HFCS one in a double blind taste test and imagine it is mostly placebo effect when people say how much better Mexican Coke is even 20 years ago when it was 100% using sugar.

Jacking up interest rates won't stop the corporate consolidation that is the main factor driving inflation. Only thing that would stop that would be breaking up the huge companies that dominate this nation in pretty much every facet. We basically live in a planned economy now when every industry seems to be dominated by 2-4 companies. I remember when fears of a planned economy making everything expensive were taught as the socialist boogeyman, but it's a feature of capitalism too.

I don't disagree

That's why I label myself as a nationalist populist, not a "capitalism uber alles" type.

People sometimes fail to distinguish between socialism and communism, which is a form of tyranny/absolutism. Some socialism such as antitrust law/breaking up big corporations, blocking some large-scale "mergers" and acquisitions, is a good thing. I've always advocated for this. Heck, some of the old New Deal policy like SS/Medicare which currently has a >90% national approval rating, is socialistic, and people don't really complain about it for the most part these days. Politicians don't run on privatizing it anymore as it's become a bit of a third-rail talking point, and rightfully so.

When people especially on the GOP side try to blame "muh socialism" for all their problems, it comes off to me as very cringe.

We could have it both ways. Meat is expensive because 4 packers (Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and National Meat) control the industry and effectively work as a cartel that loots wealth from us at the grocery store and loots wealth from ranchers at auction so everyone gets fucked except for these middlemen.

prefer taxes over bans for most stuff like this

part of the reason unhealthy foods are popular is also because they are cheap. people are incentivized to take their kids to mcdonalds for impromptu lunch/dinner when too tired or lazy to prep food at home because frankly its easy, quick, and very cheap way to give your kids the calories they need, but comes along with all the shit they dont need

start making it cost prohibitive, and you'll decrease the behavior. somebody who wants that kind of treat so badly that theyre willing to knowingly overspend for it should, but should come with the public benefit of taxation

If nothing else there should be a fat tax.

Not a tax on food containing fat per se (other than trans fat), but certainly a tax on fast food, fat people, and processed food/food containing proven toxic chemicals like acrylamide, HFCS, sodium nitrite, added nitrates, and others. Everything from fries to fried food to candy to beef jerky.

Their coffee and wifi is an A-tier combo on a road trip, particularly considering how common and consistent they are location to location... that's about it. If it's one of those few McDonalds in like Montana or Canada that don't have outlets, drops to like C or D tier. But you can't beat getting a sub- $2 coffee and basically being allowed to loiter on your PC with wifi and get work done using McDonalds as your remote office... done that many times... it's nice to have a place that opens at like 5am or 6am on road trips instead of having to wait until 9am until the library opens (or worse, some libraries are closed at random times and days).

The value menu was B or C tier in the 2000s and early 2010s when everything was a buck. Good occasionally for a poor high school or college student. Now it's D and borderline F tier. I'd much rather pay a little more at a real restaurant (or eat at home) and eat something unprocessed and actually relatively healthy over paying $3.99 for a fucking nasty fake-tasting chicken sandwich or mystery meat burger.

Their breakfast, apart from the greasy unhealthy hashbrowns which are edible but gross, is outright disgusting, F tier all the way. Their eggs especially are F- tier. Then again, so is every other fast food breakfast. Breakfast is something you either eat out at a dine-in restaurant, eat at home, or don't eat at all (the latter is my choice typically 97% of days).

And the quarter pounder tastes like barf. The Whopper and Whataburger are basic AF, sure, but at least they're edible... C tier, arguably D tier for Whataburger considering the sky high prices there.

Burger made at home... A- or S- tier, depending on how well I cook it and what toppings I have available.

I get McDonald's fries without salt. Pretty much guarantees they make them fresh for you.

Definitely wouldn't go there as much without the discounts you can get in their app. Also they were almost the only fast food restaurants that had 24hr locations after the Great Reset -- although some Wendy's spots have started doing that in time for chili season.

That said, jesus christ if you're going to McDonald's for coffee you have 0 interest in how it tastes. A $40 moka pot or chemex at home will blow away most big chains and it's incredibly easy to make.

[baseline bum]

I do dig making potatoes similar in size and shape to Taco Bell's fiesta potatoes in the air fryer. A little olive oil and some good garlic salt...done and done.

Also...since being back in San Antonio...shout out to BurgerBoy for not only surviving, but thriving! I used to live near the Witte back in the day and there was just that one ratty location near downtown, but damn it was good.

Still friggin delicious, it's better than Whataburger but with a simple menu like In and Out but I love their crinkle cut fries, they're cooked perfect crispy.

I'm old enough to remember Whopper Burger, the original. Then after Burger King bought them out my grandmother used to take me to the Murf's Better Burger on West Ave and that was great too and I'd always try to get my dad to try it but he was never interested until he found out it was owned by the original owner of Whopper Burger. So yeah it's great to see Burger Boy thriving since it's just like Whopper Burger I remember from the early to mid 80s and the Murfs Better Burger I remember from the late 80s to mid 90s.

Are Burger Boy's shakes any good? I used to love grabbing shakes when I'd get a burger in LA since In N Out and Fatburger both make great ones, but quit getting them when I'd grab a burger after coming back to Texas since Whataburger shakes are such trash.

[baseline bum]

I get McDonald's fries without salt. Pretty much guarantees they make them fresh for you.

Definitely wouldn't go there as much without the discounts you can get in their app. Also they were almost the only fast food restaurants that had 24hr locations after the Great Reset -- although some Wendy's spots have started doing that in time for chili season.

The pandemic that ended all day breakfast was pretty much the last straw that killed McDonalds for me. I hate eating in the morning as I gotta be up an hour and a half to have any appetite whatsoever and by then I'm at work. So pretty much only go to McDonalds now if say I'm driving to the coast before 10:30AM and want a chicken biscuit and a hash brown off the highway where I can't get breakfast tacos or Bill Miller pancakes (my gotos if I want fast food breakfast on weekends in town).

The only one I've tried is the Fruity Pebbles shake and that was pretty good. Starts crunchy, the pebbles get soggy but make it taste like cereal milk. I've heard good things about their Big Red shake, too.

And I fucking MISS Murf's burgers. Their chilicheese burger was sooo delicious. Almost as good as Chester's chili cheese burger.

But gospel...Chester's green chili cheese burger is a King. Do a no-toast bun and no lettuce the next time you order...and broken onion rings with a side of ranch...and their shakes are pretty fucking good and thick, too. They're just kinda expensive for what they are.

Fine on the tobacco side, bouts, but they ain't touchin' alcohol. No fuckin' way. That's pure commerce up and down the line, otherwise why in the name of common sense, decency and love of life would they let people drive to a bar, three hours later come out of said bar and drive away? tee, hee.

EWWWWWWW. Chris Madrid's is awful. A shitty burger buried in cheap mild cheddar cheese melted in a toaster.

Chris Madrid's is the Olive Garden of SA burger joints, complete with leaving their breads near the fly killer.

Bruh, if you want, we can hook up at the Chesters on Pat Booker one night during a Spurs game and I got your food on me. I don't have to pay anything there except for shakes, soda, beer, chicken wings or salads.

Just be cocaine friendly and buy your own booze...they have 200 beers and 30 wines...but let's bring back Spurs viewing parties.

You do realize you're becoming the new Avante, right Dale?

The catch is, mindless losers like Chris and Andy think you're their last vestige.

Chris has never had a unique thought and is pretty much the retarded Derp who was always signaling for a hero and Andy...well, to be honest, there are a BUNCH of fucking idiots who think that cretin had a kid and walked out on it like a coon would, so he gets a few points for doing that.

Also, Homer and Effy are the same person. No one really likes them, that's why they are horny to get their heads patted and, since no one likes them, they sniff Faggs, a PROVEN PEDOPHILE, ass to get acceptance.

We're all human Chooch. Struggling to find our way daily...some days/most days end up a nighttime graveyard walk for me.

I would have done likewise what Andrew did, either that, or, most likely the kid would now be an orphan and I'd be on a row-of-death. Rest assured, she would not have gotten away with that if it cost me my life. I grief for Ange, almost daily. And I pray for his peace of mind, so, that he doesn't do what I would have done.

I'm no better, nor worse than any of us on ST. I'm no sage. I like all you guys, friends and enemies alike, Effy especially for his Fucked around/Found out thingy. I value you all. Nobody talks sports and politics like you fellows and the guys over on the Suns side of things. It's a wonderment that I found you all. It's a gift I received and shall always cherish.

Best burger in SA... last ate there in 2013, my high school took all the AP-testing students there for a free burger/meal there after some presentation at UTSA.

If you can find a parking spot there... :lol that's certainly an adventure.

Bud Jones (sit-down restaurant) is another spot I favored in high school, with an atrocious parking situation.


didn't read this entire stupid thread, but lol self-proclaimed libertarians
I'm more of a nationalist populist, but libertarian on the social/religious issues (I'm an atheist and always have been, family is too) and stuff like medical choice and school choice.

I would say I'm more Centrist on the economic issues more than a true libertarian. I definitely favor supply side economics over Keynesian, high interest rates and low inflation, low government spending, defunding foreign aid etc. But I also support breaking up the corporatocracy and taking a stand against monopolies, oligopolies, and woke capitalism (i.e. DEI in the monopolous vulture-capitalist private sector). I believe medicare for all is a much better solution than obamacare which just made the already greedy insurance companies extremely rich at the expense of the everyday citizen.


im comparing to other fast food options, not coffee i can make at home or at an actual cafe
IMO, it is comparable to Starbucks and costs about 25% of a Starbucks.

Cocaine is, easily, the best social high when paired with liquor. And it's a panty dropper. It's a classy drug that separates the pot-smoking couch-farters and dirty chem drug users from social drug users who have a good time.

I think so. There's nothing really wrong with it in moderation like almost anything. It's not like you are hooked on meth or any shit like that. You are at a gtg with friends and do a line or two. You aren't buying it every day to feed any kind of addiction. If so then you definitely need to evaluate your choices
