The UK's Royal Society for Public Health has published a report setting out which retail outlets it considers to be health and unhealthy:

• Fast food outlets - bad for health
• Sports centre - good for health
• Betting shop - bad for health
• Bars and pubs - good for health
• Vape shops - good for health
• Money lenders - bad for health
• Art galleries - good for health

Vape shops?

I'd say any fresh food and particularly vegetables.

I voted cheeseburgers but in moderation and it depends on the meat used to make the patties.

Our modern production methods have figured out how to clean meat that should be used to make pet food, so they can charge more for the edible meat to be put into pet food as "human grade". My dog has a different digestion system than I do and can eat garbage with no ill effects but people love their pets and want to give them the good stuff sending some of the garbage to the burger factories. It's insanity but as long as it's profitable that's how they roll.

Definitely yes to cheeseburgers, but throw away the bun. Carbs are the enemy.

You're still young and feeling immortal. When you're all growed up, you'll have plenty of time to regret the carbs of yesteryear.

Bologna! I'm old enough things are coming apart. Carbs are good unless I'm not getting enough activity.

Just like alcohol, sugar and fat. They are ok as part of your diet. It's only bad when you get way too much of them without enough other important stuff to balance things out.

The real enemy is the additives they put in the bun so it doesn't go stale 32 hours after it is baked. Just because it makes a good yoga mat and doesn't instantly kill people does not mean it should be allowed in bread production.

I'm really glad you posted this. I read it yesterday, but I already posted too much. My high street has 2 methadone clinics, a boarded-up Chinese restaurant and a soup kitchen. The other main street in town has a strip club, an overflow strip club, 2 rub and tugs, a trailer park and 4 motels full of whores.

I'll be dead by the time I'm 18.

Ahem. Where, perchance, might this seedy area be located? I need to know which places to avoid if ever I'm in Canada.

I'll tell you if you come to Canada and steer you to the church and museum street instead.

Indeed.

Those sound like the areas I'm looking to avoid.
