People keep blaming the burger and completely ignore the big gulp soda consisting mostly of high fructose corn syrup that people usually have with it.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

212g of sugar in a 2L bottle of coke (Coca Cola states 10.6g per 100ml). One teaspoon is roughly 4g of sugar.
53 teaspoons of sugar in that bottle.
Interesting.
Same for fruit juice but many people don't know and think it's healthy. Try eating 10 oranges. If you succeed, you've eaten a giant dose of fiber etc with it, so it's still not nearly as bad.

Here's a short reminder that the WHO recommends limiting the daily intake of sugars to 10% of your calorie supply (approx. 50g sugar/day for me) for beneficial health effects.
Limiting intake of free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake (2, 7) is part of a healthy diet. A further reduction to less than 5% of total energy intake is suggested for additional health benefits (7).
Orange juice where i live has 10g sugars in 100ml of juice, so if you drink 1 L of it, you already take in 100g of sugars all in one go.

Implying 1l of orange juice is not a lot, or at least doesn't feel like a lot?

Well it’s about proportion.
A burger is majorly meat and bread with a fatty ground beef with a hint of vegetables. In the “healthy” section I’d expect the diet to be more vegetables heavy as those have less calories and more nutrients.
Also the bread in healthy is a bit of a misnomer IMO. It’s not awful for you but I wouldn’t call a baguette pure “healthy” eating.

Yeah you need to add at least 2 cigarettes.
True, white bread is just empty calories
I'm petty sure some us processed white bread qualifies as cake by other countries nutritional standards
I went to the us a few months ago and the bread there is so weird. We got "brown" bread but it was so soft and light that it didnt seem like brown bread at all. I have read that brown bread in the states is sometimes just white bread with food colouring so maybe it was that
Well they do add sugar to it, why does it even need sugar?
If you buy the ingredients you can verify the quality and freshness and absence of additives and such. When you buy a burger you can do none of those things. Pretty obvious difference. Homemade burgers with high quality ingredients and non excessive amounts of meat are super healthy. Maybe use some actual wholegrain bread instead of this white paper stuff tho.
Fat red meat isn't that healthy, and even one small burger is already a pretty big portion of it, especially compared to the quantities of the other ingredients and how filling it is (i.e. not very filling).
I'd love a burger made from these ingredients. Except the onion, I don't like raw onion. Anyhow, it's not junk food. This is junk food:
The real bread isn't good for you. Those are empty, fiberless carbs.
The bun is bread + an assload of sugar + oil. Though, they do at least include sesame seeds as fiber.
4oz of lean chopped steak is (relatively) better for you than 12oz of 80/20 ground beef But that looks like more than 4oz.
The real problem is that the proportions are all wrong.
You should have a bowl of lettuce with 1/2 a chopped tomato and 1/4 of a diced onion, a couple ounces of ground beef crumbles and maybe some garlic croutons.

I recall doing things like this when doing keto (skipping the croutons of course). You can get close to a burger flavor and aroma profile if you add dill (or dill pickles), ketchup, and/or mustard as a dressing. The result is satisfactory if you're craving the real thing. Olfactory memory is incredibly potent, so use it to your dieting advantage.
Yes, indeed, I also spent quite a while in Keto. Taco salads were my fav.
Burgers can be pretty healthy if you're an endurance athlete. It's not exactly a balanced meal, but I try to balance the food I eat in a day. It can be exhausting trying to get every meal right every time. Beef fat isn't exactly good for your heart though, and I like the taste of chicken better.
But really you should be eating to fit your lifestyle. The human body is pretty amazing and can thrive with a wide variety of diets.
The best part about being an endurance athlete is being able to eat shitloads of food.

I just try to eat as much food as I possibly can in the span of one hour from uni cafeteria (2.95€ for as much as I can fit on my plate) and call it a day with eating.
Ah yes, the snake style of eating
you have 3 euro lunches? last time I checked my uni (which is extremely big), sold a small club sandwhich for 12 us dollars.

It's the bread. Everything else is healthy
Eating bread in moderation is perfect fine and healthy too. It is all just about moderation.
I've eaten only bread for 3 weeks straight. This is healthy
It's also the fact that (At least in the US) burgers get served next to a pile of french fries. Calorie mountain. Eating a burger without fries isn't a bad meal. Sub them with apple slices or olives or another pickle.
The bread isn't really the problem, it's the added sugars to "bring out its flavor".
Do they really add sugar to bread in the USA? Sounds so wild to me.
Anyhow, light bread isn't terrible, but wole-grain bread makes for a much more balanced diet.
Ireland declared subway breads are actually cakes due to the amount of sugar (some sugar in bread is 'natural' though)
My first customer was Megan She came in for a hamburger with the lot - no meat "Hey that's a salad roll" I said and we started going out
