You take a risk and yes you will still live and have nutrition from the nutrients included, but let's not pretend there's no health risks long term. An occasional treat is fine but my problem is that that more I eat of such stuff the more I crave it. Then one day your kidneys get weaker, your heart starts failing earlier than it should, diabetes creeps up on you.

A different perspective.
In many parts of the World eating out is a daily occurrence.
Street food is the name of the game, many apartments do not have a kitchen, just a hotplate and a kettle.
The street food is safe, cheap and they live longer than we do.
It is purely a Western thing, we are the ones which contaminate our own food to maximise profits.
The power of advertising.

She's called "Effin Elsie" because that's what she always says as she is wrapping your take away!

You were lucky to be employed.
