Tbqfh good ol' British fish & chips are far worse than most meals from KFC or McDonald's... And things like Chinese and Indian take-aways aren't much better.

I just think this argument is off the mark simply because it misunderstands the reasons for bad relationships with food and related health / weight problems. People overeat for comfort and eat badly because of lifestyle. The type of food and where it came from is largely irrelevant.

The only slightly relevant factor is the price and availability; there is an issue in the US with huge portion sizes being expected for a reasonable price. But... Let's be honest here... No matter what else happens with Brexit, I don't think food getting CHEAPER is a realistic outcome. We'll in fact be very lucky if it doesn't become significantly more expensive.
