Have you been to one recently ?? Asking cos I've thought about driving to the one im Huddersfield just to if it's anything like I remember the one in Oldham was in the 1970's? I remember a few lads putting the plastic tomato ketchup containers on the table and whacking them to get it squirt out !

Countless documentaries and info out there about how fake the food is. Yet parents and kids still flock to this joint. I get it.

yes It's quick, and cam be found in every city town. But we gotta do better. Cook for one self, take sarnies when on an outing and train our brains to seek other alternatives. And that goes with not just Maccy dee, but also applies to kfc and burger King. All shit food.

Agree, Jamie Oliver did more to highlight this than anyone - yet he gets absolutely slated and slagged off rather than focus on what he trying to achieve. Such is the norm nowadays.
 
Do they still teach home economics at schools? In my time that was a big thing. Learnt a great deal. How to bake, cook, financial management etc.
 
You know lads, part of the issue is that money is worth fuck all these days and real wages are no higher than they were 15 years ago.

I speak as one who can remember getting 4 pints of Holt's bitter for a quid. You just look at the price of anything. A tube of glue can be £5 or more. Minimum £50 ish to get into City. And so on.

Although he released a book off the back of his TV show, and was launching a new business venture around the same time, I think Jamie Oliver was genuinely trying to add to the discourse when he highlighted the shiteness of certain fast foods and other shite, such as 'Turkey Twizzlers'.

Companies are profiteering (in the USA alone, the food industry makes an estimated $1.5Billion per year) by selling cheap, shit and often addictive foods.

The internet and payment for clicks has changed the whole concept of "celebrity".
What talent does an "influencer" have other than making money pedalling crap?
I get pissed off with all these "celebrities" jetting off for a few months on a free holiday too while they make a travel show/series especially on the BBC that we all have to pay for. The odd one like Michael Portillo make interesting programs where you learn something but some of them like the two posers from Come Dancing in Spain are utter bollocks.
Jesus , just read that back and I'm turning into Victor Meldrew ......

I don't believe it.
 
I find anything with 'celebrities' a load of bollocks. In part, because I don't know who three-quarters of the 'celebrities' are. But I have to admit, a lot of people are into 'celebrities'. There's even magazines about them. I picked one up in a waiting room once and found nothing of substance in it.

But there's no denying there's a market for it, just as there's a market for soaps like Ennerdale.
