Hopefully.

Those places are low quality junk food anyway. You already have great food and I hope and pray this type of establishment doesn't take over. That's really lowering your standards. (Haagen Das ice cream, I'll make an exception. Excellent, and they don't use milk from hormone fed cows.)

Popeyes's chicken strips/fingers are horrible. Little chicken, all batter.

More fried chicken (and I use the term 'chicken' loosely) outlets, just what the obese ridden UK population needs! God help us!

Is that a good thing? Could put further strain on the NHS with a spike in clogged arteries/heart disease/diabetes.
