This document summarizes an interview discussing food options and shopping preferences in the Harlesden area of London. Interviewees state they prefer cheaper shops like KFC and avoid expensive stores like Waitrose due to budget constraints. Statistics show an increase in unhealthy fast food shops compared to healthy options in London. An experiment demonstrates it is more expensive to purchase ingredients for a healthy homemade burger than to buy a burger from McDonald's. The reasons for the rise in fast food restaurants are said to be related to capitalism and the need to make money from cheap fast food options in working class areas.

What food shops in Harlesden do you prefer and why?
INTERVIEWEES
(I prefer KFC because it’s cheap and the food quality is
really good.)

Do you find Waitrose and Sainsburys unnecessarily expensive?

(I find it expensive and sometimes I feel for a healthy meal
but due to my budget I cant afford it so turn to shops like
Sam’s which I know I shouldn’t eat constantly.)

I am in the area of Harlesden in London and many people
share the same opinion but is that a good thing?

really as expensive and long as it is made out to be.
