British Burger Trucks Ordered to Serve Healthier Food

Posted by Robyn Lee, November 14, 2008 at 5:30 PM

Councilors in Guildford Borough, England, have told vendors of roadside burger bars that they must alter their menus to comply with new health rules—such as using wholemeal bread, offering low-fat choices, and using less mayonnaise—or risk losing their licenses. Vendors reply that customers don't want the healthy alternatives.

Bloody hell! That's just wrong. Hamburgers are NOT a healthy meal ... just a delicious one.

This is not good. It may be just a matter of time before this nonsense drifts over the ocean to our burger shores. How dare any government blackmail private businesses into deciding what amount of mayo is needed. I left my Mommy and Daddy over 30 years ago and I don't need another one telling me how to run my business.
