Wow England, how does it feel having your country's restaurant scene taken over by fat, low-effort, gimmicky hipsters? First they open a restaurant in London that only serves children's breakfast cereal, and now this? You officially have no right to criticize any other country's food. Also you're every bit as fat as Americans.

Stop adopting our fast food and fast food style of eating. You will only regret it in ten years, when your rates of diabetes, heart disease, and other maladies skyrocket. You're already becoming an obese nation like us, for fuck's sake, stop now.
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but my secret guilty pleasure show is TOWIE. (Mainly because i find how orange and fucking stupid they are hilarious.) I watched an episode yesterday where those idiots were eating at fucking Five Guys. I was facepalming so hard. STOP IT. Don't do to your country what we have done to ours. Yes, we do have wonderful real restaurants here, but we are overloaded and overwhelmed by fast food everywhere.

The further away you go from the equator, the less biological diversity there is and the less you have to work with to make delicious food. That's my theory anyway.
