You may or may not die if you eat this meal. It's quasi-poison.

Literally the definition of LD50, i.e. a dose where half of the people who take that dose will die. Usually expressed as grams per kilogram of bodyweight (or american equivalent clippings of grass per rocks of bodyweight or something idk)

We use hamburgers as our unit of measure now, not grass clippings. That’s offensive.

grass per rocks of bodyweight

You're thinking of the UK, where they still use Stone for body weight.

I've never measured my weight in stone. It's not really a thing anymore
