Fossil fuels being subsidised at rate of $13m a minute, says IMF
Oil, gas and coal benefited from $7tn in support in 2022 despite being primary cause of climate crisis
You're viewing a single thread.
We subsidize all the wrong things. A McDouble is out of reach for most as a casual snack without subsidies, and arguably it should be out of reach so plant based alternatives have a chance at competing. Same with oil. Should gradually roll back the subsidies so people can have time to switch, but they should still be rolled back.
McDouble
casual snack
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but casual snack?
It's a small burger my guy
Then again I'm 6'4" so maybe my perspective is skewed
You're just looking at it from a different angle, that's all
I'm 6'2", wouldn't refer to it as a casual snack. When I hear casual snack, I'm thinking like an orange or a protein bar or something, not a whole-ass burger. Yeah, it's not massive, but not a small snack either
An orange weighs about 150 grams on average
A mcdouble is about 165
So yeah, casual snack
Weird comparison.
A mcdouble is about 400 calories. Whereas a 150g orange is about 75.
Not at all, they're about the same size and mass
We don't eat based exclusively off caloric value and you know it
I think he means in terms of a dollar menu item which sorta disapeared with the latest inflation.
I get that, just commenting on referring to a McDouble as a casual snack
yeah was more the frugal entree choice
