Recently I have heard people say they went to Taco Bell or really any fast food restaurant which spurred them having poor digrestion. I have eaten at Mcdonalds and Taco Bell many times in my life and never had diarrhea following. Is this a thing?

 

[Myth]

usually not.

I think chipotle gives me a rough time on occasion, but I think like... idk the sheer proportions for me is hard to handle. I'm not rlly a big eater lol.

I have friends who got the worst kind of diarrhea and food poisoning from fast food restaurants

Most fast food is pretty greasy and the oil they use is sometimes a few days old, so if you have a sensitive stomach…

yeah. fast food is notorious for its portion sizes and convincing you that its not that much. I was surprised when I found out that a proper portion of meat with a meal is the size of your palm... when you got taco bell giving discount meals of 2 meat tacos, a specialty burrito, and chips+queso

I've often heard non-americans get surprised at american dining bc of the proportions. Like a large in some countries could be a small-medium in the US lol.

So true. And the caloric count is outrageous. I ate frequently at McDonalds during my Freshman year of college because it was like a block from campus. By the end of the year I had gained over 60 pounds, which I "surprisingly" dropped when I ceased eating fast food that frequently... A fast food meal tends to be upwards of 1250-1800 calories depending on what you are getting.

If you have a sensitive stomach then fast food can easily wreck you. The risk goes up as you get older

The look on my Canadian girlfriends face when she got a meal in the US was hilarious
But on the other hand when I went to Canada I couldn’t finish some of the meals so I think it varies a lot by where you go.

I dont go to fastfood restaurants.
mainly because of my wheat intolerance and also because I became vegan and I know most restaurant dont take it too serious when it comes to vegan food, so you never know whats on the table.

I have decided a few weeks ago. I follow a german marine biologist / wild animal photographer, who also has an organization (mission earth) to protect earth (including animals, plant, climate etc. basically everything - he is doing mission and trys to show the good and bad side of everything to everyone). he makes documentations for his youtube channel. he uploaded a few disturbing videos about the fur industry and milk industry (showing how animals are kept, told infos about how they are killed etc). I wanted to try to be vegetarian before, but I learned that being vegetarian is even worse than eating meat as milk cows have to live way longer in catastrophic conditions than a cow that is held for meat. after some thought and asking myself 'what keeps you from doing it?' - doing some self reflection - I went vegan immediately. because its not that hard. ofc I cant eat many vegan products because they have wheat, but so what. also doing it for my health. cause I have a thyroid syndrome (hashimoto).

Yesss love that! I've been vegan since high school which has been a few years now. I did some research on the industry, and decided to drop meat, and then milk, eggs, and never looked back.

Does that youtube channel have english subtitles? I'd be interested in checking it out!

only his orca series (which you might know. I have posted it on alkp) has eng subtitles. his other documentary dont, but the pictures say all if you ask me (at least in the 'bad' ones).

Spoiler: if you are still interested... (its in german)

this one is about fur. he (robert marc lehmann) and an animal protection organisation go into a fur farm.
I think you can guess which kind of scenes you will see here.
also, they collected signatures with this video for a european petition to stop those farms.
lucky they got enough signatures after the video, so the european parlament has to discuss it eventually.




this one is about the milk industry and shows how milk cows are held in some (not all )
cow farms in germany, as germany is the biggest milk producer in europe.




now the nice ones...
he recently uploaded his uganda series.







he also have series about peru (the mission earth community actually has their own protected part of the rainforest. :)

I actually got asked by customs when I said I was going on a trip with my girlfriend, "So your friend thats a girl or....?". I have no idea how that was relevant to whether I'm allowed to cross the border but okay ig
