Hamburger lives somewhere in Ontario, don't he? And it's "Freedom fries" now, not "French fries." I think Congress passed a law about that before the Pelosi bunch took over.

@grace-g,
what's the meaning of a generous helping of, is that the meaning of : a lot of help of, is it correct?
No, in this context a "helping" is a "serving" so it references the amount of fries served.

@Region Philbis,
A Hamburger is a resident of Hamburg. A generous helping implies assistance. Fries may not be healthy assistance. Even so, looking at the picture makes me hungry. A pavlovian response perhaps. :-)
Best wishes.

Some people would feel dizzy and fatigue after having eaten McDonalds's hamburger.

With respect to food, a "helping" is a portion, an amount, so in this context, you'd be given a generous portion of fries. A goodly amount of fries. "Helping" in your sentence has nothing to do with assistance. They are two different meanings of the same word.

@aidan,
Or:

yes, 'generous helping' means a 'large serving'. Now I wonder if 'helping' should mean you 'helped yourself' as at a salad bar or buffet, and 'serving' would be what the waiter or waitress brought you? Maybe that's why some people now simply say 'portions' instead of helpings or servings.

@Region Philbis,
Dang! And I thought someone had made a comment that if such and such was so, they'd eat their hat (the 'hamburg') and decided to have some fries on the side. Oops! My mistake! That would have been spelled 'homburg' and fries. No doubt someone will now post a photo of a homburg hat, inverted, and filled with a generous portion of fries. LOL
Great photo of the hamburger and fries!
Lots of people feel sleepy after eating because your body draws blood from the brain to work on digesting the food. Never schedule high school trigonometry class for immediately following lunch. I found out the hard way.
