Jake, fried chicken has become a high street favourite. I don’t know how many southern fried or peri-peri chicken shops have opened up near me, I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count them all. It’s never going to be a cornerstone of a healthy diet…in fact round here people “loving” call that chicken “dirty-bird”. But everything in moderation I guess 😉

Nice reference to The Smiths with the title on this one! However, I agree with Sarah. Fast food and other, similar foods are becoming too much a part of our society in this country. My issue isn’t with bacon and ham as such as I can’t see how, when bought from a butchers that’s going to do you any harm but it’s with this fried chicken culture.

Poppng up all around the UK, they’re starting to take over. I’m not by any means saying I don’t buy chicken from one of these chicken outlets sometimes but seriously, they need to be culled. They’re what’s doing the most harm in this country, no matter how delicious the chicken may taste, it’s not doing you any good.

In reply to SarahArrow. @SarahArrow When I was young I longed to be able to live off such treats, now I'm older and know better it doesn't stop me still liking them! ;)

Hot dogs are not one of your 5 a day! you should be shot for saying so…
I remember when food like hot dogs and out of a packet was a rare “treat”, now it seems to form the basis of many meals. One of the joys of this year has been cooking fresh meals each evening for the family. We’ve always eaten together, just not always cooked and eaten together.

We’ve reached the point where if we have fish and chips it tastes too greasy and affects our tastebuds. I’m all for banning processed food but it would be too difficult to do – it’s now part of our culture 🙁 someone pass me the salami…
