A medium whopper menu with fries and drinks in Belgium costs 7€ each, cheeseburger with fries and a drink about 6€. That's 26€ or 30$. That's a massive price difference. You can easily find fresh ingredients for the same price.

Small Big Mac menu in Norway costs about $14.

No wonder they are all fat bastards over there.

Surely a master dealmaker already knew this and did it intentionally?

Ah but the difference is convenience and time usually. The lowest income areas of a city lack the easy access to good supermarkets that middle class have and the lower income populations don't have as much access to cars.

When I lived in low income areas the pattern was basically the large discount supermarket chains (like a Foodmaxx or Walmart) on the biggest boulevard in the neighborhood but that could be 6-8 miles from some residential neighborhoods. What would be closer to many neighborhoods were smaller ethnic markets at best (usually Hispanic or/and Asian depending on the area) and tonnes of fast food.

Just to give an example. One apartment I lived in a dangerous neighborhood would have taken at least 10 minutes by car to get to a good supermarket whereas I could walk to get fast food within 5 minutes. There was a small Hispanic convenience store near the fast food but it didn't have anything like fresh produce and meat. More just canned goods and packaged food shipped from out of state.

Oh and there was no farmers market in this area unlike the middle class neighborhood that had cheap local grown produce at weekly farmers markets.

But not at every location though, some if the fast food chains around me don't participate but there is always a coupon in the mail. At least you get some good stuff on a whopper.

Lol! :lol: Maybe he is better at cooking junk food rather than being president.

There was about 36 burgers on each tray so he would have had at least 25 silver platters of burgers to hit that number, the table says no.
Why lie about this shit? The scrounge ordered fast food for an official white house engagement and everything was 2 for $5, some wendy fries and salads and dominos pizza. He spent less then a couple of grand, why brag? As someone else mentioned he "owns" a hotel down the street that could have easily put on a nice spread and if he wanted to blow his horn about helping businesses that sell American food the white house could have went to the numerous small restaurants around the area and passed some business their way instead of these behemoth companies selling shit food.
He is a disgrace of a human and the most cringeworthy mutherfecker I've ever seen.
 
He coulda built his stoopid wall with that many humbogglers, or whatever he's calling them this week.
 
He must have had a stroke while tweeting. No fecking auto correct can do that.

With that logic, I'm amazed they could muster the brain power to form coherent speech.

All he is is brag.

His dad drilled it into him that he had to be a salesman 24/7 to the point that absolutely everything that comes out of his mouth without fail is a sales pitch designed to make him and everything he does sound appealing to people.

He's completely and utterly fecked in the head because he has to sell himself 24/7.

The man needs serious mental health help to undo all the damage that has been inflicted upon his brain and deprogram him from being that con artist salesman that he's always been.

And it's all because neither mummy nor daddy gave him any love or approval whatsoever so he's got a giant void where love and acceptance should've been and he's still looking for that approval and he'll never get it.

He's a massive cnut but that yearning for a little bit of praise is so massive in him that it comes across so much as a persecution complex and insecurity and that makes me almost, almost sympathetic to him. Proper hackjob.
 
If things couldn't get more strange, that McDonald's stuff is hilarious :lol:

"We have pizzas, we have 300 hamburgers, many, many French fries, all of our favourite foods," Mr Trump said as he hosted the event in the State Dining Room on Monday.

"If it's American, I like it. It's all American stuff," he replied.

Any MAGA supporter is going to look at that and think that the menu choice is better than the usual highfalutin buffet you'd get at The White House.

Laughing at Trump is nice and all, but he's a canny operator. Convincing yourself otherwise is not really helpful.

And yet everyone one of them will without hesitation drop $50 on one of those top class Vegas buffets.

Can't see the forest for the trees... can't smell your own shit on your knees.

He did not buy it just because its what he eats. He's extremely talented (whether its fully conscious or not) at tapping into the mentality of conservative working class America. Do you really doubt that his base are going to see these pictures and think its awesome? Seriously? It's a perfect piece of messaging that tells his base that Trump is one of them, and gives them a smug sense that the privileged are being brought down to the kind of level that they themselves have to live at.

If your regular family meal was a McDonalds or a KFC because you're poor and work long hours, can you not see the enjoyment you'd probably get from seeing the rich and famous getting served the same kind of food you're forced to live on? It's pure schadenfreude.

Those Clemons kids are rich and famous?

Ain't no way he's hosting a WH dinner for heads of state or corporate donors with platters of lukewarm burgers and cold fries.

This Clemons kids like the other college footballers do not get pay whereas the college and the coaches make big money of them. Even with a stipendium you only get half the college education as football comes first. All for the dream of getting a professional footballer somewhen - what only a real small amount of them manages...

There is an HBO-documentary called "Student Athlete" that is very interesting. https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/s...he-hardships-faced-by-unpaid-college-athletes
I follow one of the athletes that the film was about on youtube since more than 2 years- he was expelled from the NCAA because a friend of his family sponsored him his appartment and that was against the rules - and plays in Europe since three years. None of this American imports seems to know a lot about healthy food...

I was also told they tend to use peanut oil to cook versus whatever crap oils used in the States. @Blackwidow

I haven't eaten a Mc Donalds burger for years. They are in our diet - but we make them on our own or get them at a local small imbiss place - but usually we get Döner or sometimes pizza or sushi as fast food.
