American Things My European Mind Can't Comprehend...

2600 calories in one drink! And 4.5 g of salt... (that's right folks,1770 mg of Sodium means >4500 mg of salt)😐

More than my daily calorie intake...

And we wonder why there is an obesity epidemic? This is disgusting.

@MrFinch A Burger King Double Whopper w/ Cheese will add another 1000 calories, and another 500 in French Fries
==> Σ=4100 calories!!

@helenS I recommend the single Whopper no mayonnaise for health fanatics. 510 Cal.

@pancakeslam Problem is, it's so concentrated, you won't feel full after eating one, your stomach will still feel empty.
Compare with green beans: 510 Cal are contained in 3 lbs (!) of green beans. And 3lbs is a lot. I doubt you're able to eat 3lbs of green beans.

@helenS not very appealing is it?

@pancakeslam Green beans? 😋
pancakeslam · 41-45, M
@helenS I agree green beans are tasty. but the sauce will add some fat, cals, and likely sodium. I prefer it as a side dish.

@pancakeslam Green beans are so delicious! 😋

@helenS Green beans were my favorite veggie from the time I was able to sit in a high chair and eat them with my fingers. I was working in the garden at the age of 2 and a half years old picking all the green beans on our farm, which were many. We canned what we didn’t eat fresh and it was a lot. Sometimes I’d pick a round metal bathtub full during the heaviest harvests. I would also sit in the screened in porch and snap them. I just loved them for some reason. I still do.

@cherokeepatti I grow green beans in my garden (bush beans), and I salt them heavily, and keep them in big stone jars, so I can eat them in winter. It's the traditional way. 😋
