Went to the cinema yesterday (first time for ages) and was frankly dismayed by all the junk food. The literally wasn't a single thing for me to eat. It was all just manufactured junk. In fact, my wife bought me a coffee, I asked for white, but instead of a White Americano, which is industrial sludge with a spot of milk, I ended up with a latte, which is milk with a grain or two of coffee. In summary, a white coffee is latte. If you want what I consider a white coffee, you have to ask for black with a touch of milk - which of course is white coffee - at least in our house!
It's similar everywhere, where the food (!?) on offer is supposed to be a 'treat' - on a visit somewhere for example - but it's pure rubbish.
Motorway services are much the same, though if you root carefully through M&S or Waitrose, you can find some unprocessed, or less processed, meat or cheese - or some water with a respectable sell-by date.
But....... I did come across a 'Good Breakfast' in a service station last week. A step in the right direction I think; yes, plenty of calories, but not buckets of glucose that sloshes straight to the old retinas.
