Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has criticised the UK for its alcohol culture and poor cuisine.
In an interview with Paris Match magazine, Oliver suggested people in the UK cared more about getting drunk than they did about eating well.
The chef said there was a better variety of food in South African slums than in English towns and cities.

"variety" does not necessarily mean healthy. In the slums of SA they eat anything from sheep heads to insects. In fact, if you were brave enough to eat some of that stuff your stomach would come away thinking that Scottish haggis was the last word in high cuisine.
