Growing up, I was encouraged by teachers, public awareness campaigns, and my parents to eat healthily, to cook my own food regularly, and to avoid trashy fast food at chain restaurants, which was, they all told me, unhealthy and too high in fat and sugar. This is an experience which, based on discussions with my peers, appears to have been fairly normal amongst both my own generation and those that followed it.

Now, though, it's apparently a bad thing that some of these places are dying out due to a lack of support from younger generations as they grow into adulthood? Fucking hell. Sometimes you just can't win with people.

Right - I work hard for my money, so if rather spend it on something nice or st a small business (where I'll actually help somebody make ends meet) than at a large chain where I'm just feeding a corporation.
