When I think of fast food, I think of a bucket of sausages and rashers and breaded chicken things. Some of those can be quite healthy, although not the bread so much. If they deep fry them, it is a problem, but if they bake them, it is different. One does not necessarily want to stop the local shop from stocking that sort of thing. If it is a big brand takeaway, it is an issue. It is a predominant situation now that there are fast-food outlets attached to or inside petrol stations and service stations. That might be what Deputy Rabbitte was referring to.
