In certain food newsgroups, some posters are more than happy to berate
and ridicule people for eating the occasional burger from McDonalds or
Burger King or for enjoying a "fast-food" pizza from Pizza Hut. Yet the
same people are happy to declare that a "fast-food" Indian take-away
(I've eaten it myself before and, OK, it's good) from ASDA (Walmart) is
"lovely".

Why the double standards?

I have no doubt that the mass-produced curry, as tasty as it may be,
from ASDA (Walmart) has far more salt and sugar in it than any McD or BK
burger.

Food snobbery really does take some strange forms...
