FAO: Charlie, Merseyside - lessons on making comparisons

"Here in the UK we definitely have a lot to learn from the French as far as food is concerned. I spend as much time as I can in France and even in the smallest food store or market there is a good choice of fresh food. In the UK we love packets that can be microwaved,or fast food takeaways - cooking is a skill that is dying out! Almost anywhere in France you can get a decent meal or snack made with fresh local ingredients. Recently I was in a small quiet bar in an equally small French village, . I asked the lady at the bar if she could make my companion and I a sandwich. Ten minutes later she brought from the kitchen a fresh crusty baguette cut in two, containing lots of salad, real ham and dressing, with two small beers, all for six Euros! The French appreciate good, traditional local fresh food and ingredients, as well as artisan producers. With the odd exception we seem to offer not food, but cheap mass produced chemical fillers!"

Going somewhere on holiday is not comparable to living there.
Something that does not happen all of the time does not mean it is dying out.
Fresh local ingredients do not mean that a meal will be healthier.
Eating a sandwich in a quiet bar in a small village is not comparable to a typical way of living
One biased anecdote does not evidence a definite trend

FAO: Robert MacBeth, Enfield, London - Reasons why people from the Third World have no care for hygiene and you are not being racist at all

"Always London with hygiene problems. This is not racist but look at the people who are managing these stores and you see they come from third world countries who have no care for hygiene. Too many fast-food stores are like this, kebab houses are the same. I live in London and have seen some disgusting things in these fast food places."

The lazy bastards don't even bother having running water unless we pay through it by funding some celebrity to climb a mountain.
They hate you personally Robert, and want you to die from E. coli poisoning to stop you telling everybody the truth about their dirty hands.
Health inspectors have never taken action against restaurants managed by English people.
They are sitting in their shanty towns in the Third World studying restaurant management courses and plotting the downfall of the west by giving everyone food poisoning ao the economy fails. It's back door terrorism.
They come over here, take up all the housing and then fill up the NHS by going into hospitals to have children and picking up MRSA, then go straight back to the jobs they have stolen off the hard working westerners and pass it on to us. The selfish bastards.
