"Fast food is not healthy. Unfortunately health inspectors don't work at night time otherwise a lot of fast food business would be closed. HACCP are not just letters taking front the alphabet, but not every food establishments work under these rules." Fast food can be healthy though. If the meat is pre cooked then there's no reason you can't get healthy fast food | |||

"Fast food is not healthy. Unfortunately health inspectors don't work at night time otherwise a lot of fast food business would be closed. HACCP are not just letters taking front the alphabet, but not every food establishments work under these rules. Fast food can be healthy though. If the meat is pre cooked then there's no reason you can't get healthy fast food " Chicken in (unnamed) deli come from Norway. We don't even use our own chicken. Nothing wrong with original Norway chicken but unfortunately it's flushed with water and others things to pump it (make Look bigger) and then is cheap to import. I know fast food CAN be produced healthy but unfortunately that's not the goal of the owner of a fast food establishment, it's all profit and margins. If the consumer educate themselves more about food hygiene and traceability, perhaps they be more incline to avoid the urge of fast food..... but then alcohol also plays it's part. | |||
"I have yet to come across a takeaway that is remotely healthy. " I know of one place although it's a bit far away from where i live. They do Mexican food. It's all made fresh every day. You can get a salad with chicken breast, tomatoes, onions and peppers, jalapeños, and a portion of guacamole. It's all ready to go within 2 mins and is pretty healthy | |||
"I know in Dublin and major cities there are alot more options than other places but there are healthy-ish options available. One indian I order from alot have a healtier option section and a paleo menu. Another has a section of dinner size meals for under 400 calories. My fav semi guilty treat is Milanos leggera to take away yum yum" I sometimes have a laura sub zero calories tasty as hell and includes a work out too and leave you totally satisfied  | |||

Chicken takes longer than 2 mins cook, guacamole should be made fresh daily to avoid discolouring No matter how much lemon juice you use. Everything you mentioned will be prepared (hopefully) daily but will still take longer than your 2 mins suggested, otherwise you are getting left overs!! | |||

The chicken is cooked fresh daily as is everything else. I actually happen to know the guy that owns the place. So when your ordering, it's already cooked. Just to be thrown together with whatever else you like (onions, peppers, tomatoes, jalapeños etc) | |||

None of that is a problem, happens regularly even in hotel kitchens, as long as the cooked food is stored at it's correct temperature and reheated to its correct temperature, to avoid bacteria multipling. Happy days. | |||

"I have to laugh at the government tho preaching on about obesity and to eat more healthy. Eating healthier is a lot more expensive than eating unhealthy food like fast food and takaway. Some families want to eat healthier but just can't afford to. Maybe if they lowered the price of healthy food and put junk food prices up wich is only suppose to be a treat anyway it would solve a lot of health issues. Vote topcatt in the next election! Il get ya'll bikini bodies "it doesn't cost much to eat health , if ur prepared to cook it yourself .. | |||

"Healthy meals are dead cheap, big box of rice does not have to be brown, cut chicken breasts into chunks, some glazes or some peri peri, (use some fish cheap from the butchers or turkey etc). Put rice on takes 12-15 mins, preheat george foreman at 7 mins, when rices is looking done, throw chicken bits on george foreman, close goeorge foreman, go wash hands, come back lift rices up, plate rices at a nice easy pace, and chicken should have been on for like 5-7 mins now, should be cooked, put the chicken bits on top of the rice in the bowl. Bish bang bosh, must cost 2 quid in total, maybe 3 quid at a push. I could probably make dinner for most of the week for the cost of one takeaway. Being healthy is about eating the right amount of food for you activity level. If you are very active then chicken nuggets and chips from mc donalds is a perfectly healthy snack. You can get health benefits from some greasy foods even. The point is, if you are sitting around doing nothing, then a takeaway is a completely unacceptable snack or option. If you are active then a mars bar on the way to work wont hurt you at all, a mars bar, packet of crisps, bottle of normal probably would though. I often have something like a pepsi max and bar of chocolate, i have cake, I have the odd packet of crisps. I like the new life although others dont. When I am active I can eat it all no bother, when I dont have time to be active I start to add weight. Its really that simple. Being healthy in my view is being active not eating green leaves from a plant, or counting calories." Ya should of watched that "the truth about sugar" eye opener or what  | |||

Agree 100% people don't realise what they are doing to their bodies going on crash diets cutting out carbs eating less meet cutting food out completely and taking food supplements it's crazy food is fuel for the body we need the fuel to live keeping fit and active and having a good balanced diet is the key to leading a healthy life | |||

"Grill town in coolmine industrial estate in blanch. Amazing place! Even their enormous burgers are healthy with whole grain bun. Feels like a cheat meal but it isn't." Ooh this sounds like a nice place! I'll have to investigate | |||

"Everything can be unhealthy in the right doses. It's all about moderate exercise and a round varied diet. If you like some foods over others eat them just don't live on 5 foods all your life. Keep refined sugars and added salt to min. Drink plenty of unflouridated water. Eat as much grass fed meats as you can afford. Grow your own veg and pick up as much Irish fruit as you can. 8 to 6 hours sleep a night. Don't limit your fats as this has been linked to allot of psychological disorders. Leave ur car behind every so often. Use the stairs. Learn a sport. Generally keep active. Do some squats while the ads are on. stop worrying about your weight, start worrying about your body fat. Take up weight baring exercise to reduce body fat to acceptable levels. Supplement your meals with light snacks such as mixed nuts or carrots and a dip. Everybody needs to calm down on the protein supplements your kidneys will thank you in 20 years. Finally everybody needs to increase their fibre content which will decrease chances of inflaming bowel diseases. " sounds good to me.. | |||

I used be a lot heavier than I am now and it is by following that kind of mind set that I shed those pounds and feel a lot better for it. It's about a number of changes not just one. Lifestyle changes are surprisingly easy once you educate yourself. | |||
I agree, living in Dublin makes it easier - if you're ok to spend more you can order from some good restaurants. E.g. The Farm delivers (organic restaurant). I also order from a spectacular Sushi restaurant (Michie Sushi). I do love salmon sashimi and edamame soy beans mmmm | |||
