I'm very angry at goyslop lately, specifically, fries.
I do have a hamburger about every 2 weeks, sometimes more often. When asked if I want fries with that, I always say no.
I would never order a plate of fries as some people do and never buy potato crisps in the supermarket.
It is also that I don't really like that sort of fried, salty stuff thankfully.
But fries are sometimes the default and one would have to make a special request to have them omitted.
If I just have say 5 fries and stop it's okay. Often I leave a huge serve of fries untouched on the plate next to a hamburger.
If I am hungry however and there is nothing else to go for, I sometimes eat the whole serve. That happened a few days ago and I felt very resentful at what seems like a covert attempt to poison me or make me fat. Did not feel wonderful from it either.
When the Irish had their potato famine that we all hear about, how were they eating it? I somehow doubt it was a plate of fries every day. You can steam segments of potato, boil them, bake a potato and serve it with butter inside. Segments of potato can cook inside soups or stews, I'm guessing it was Irish stew how they had it. There is something called an Irish spice bag but that is a modern fast-food thing. Fries and crisps really seems like a degenerate thing to do to a potato.
Just the quantity of oil you are eating - seed or otherwise..
I've got a list of things now that I don't eat and am trying to stick to it - chicken, juice from cardboard cartons. Now I'm thinking of just adding fries to the list and declining it every time. Specifically requesting not to have them. Then if it becomes a once every 3 or 6 month thing out of politeness if I'm visiting that's okay, but at no other time
