I certainly dislike Hasan but this doesn't seem like a fair criticism. Assuming he genuinely is trying to convince people to embrace leftist ideas, it makes sense to use an actually popular platform. He could use something like peertube too, but using it exclusively would be unreasonable. Amazon benefitting slightly from his anticapitalist messaging doesn't disqualify his arguments. Rather, he undermines himself with more significant controversies.
It seems like it's based on portions recorded for the food type 40-50 years ago.

So they are going to run smaller than modern portions if people eat more now. Similar products should at least have similar serving mass, although there is room for adjustment for practical reasons like rounding to whole units. I'm not sure how new products without an early analogue are set.
They would be better off not judging people for any selected difficulty then.
I have never been to a BK that has their burgers pre-made. They have enough variety on their menu and adjustments on orders that it surely can't be worth anticipating things like that. Assembling a burger takes less than a minute once everything is cooked.
The average subway worker probably wouldn't know who their suppliers are, but I doubt it's a secret. They likely use the same regional suppliers other restaurants do. The manager could probably tell you.
I am sure it happens but it is illegal for restaurant owners or managers to take even a portion of servers' tips.
I've had this argument with people on lemmy many times. People recognize tipping is a bad system, and use that as an excuse to abandon the people who are unfortunately dependent on it. As if the system will change by stiffing the workers with essentially no power.
"How to Make Friends and Influence People" is a classic that has a lot of examples. I listened to the audiobook
It is much easier to increase output for crops than livestock. The reason meat is so cheap in the US is that the government uses taxes to subsidize it, and producers torture their animals to cut costs.
BK has the impossible whopper at most of their locations, which is an innovation vegans/vegetarians appreciate. McDonald's barely attempted with plant-based options. They even use beef in their fries.

I appreciate posts like this. The debates in the comments show people's beliefs are being challenged and it's reaching people who are at least willing to consider the argument instead of dismissing it out of hand. You can't change someone's mind without introducing doubt, and pointing out a double standard is a good approach. In contrast, a post with no objections is likely only reaching people already convinced.
