Lunch - not if they can help it

Getting lunch at lunch time is difficult, especially when all the schools are out for the summer holidays. My usual lunch time shops are brimming with people who would normally be at home and children at school. Every food shop is full up, there are ques and crowds. I eventually end up just going to the most convenient and instant places I can, these are Chinese restaurants or take aways. They serve fast and I don't have to que or wait around for my food. But as I eat each meal I now wonder what it does to my cholesterol levels and how much more weight will I put on. It's not good. I'm forced by other people to take these actions. So tomorrow I'm going to make my own sandwiches and stuff the lot of them.

There should be places where only working people can go. Where no tourist or shopper is allowed to enter. Places of sanctuary for the worker, off limits to others. Which require identity verification or something to show you are a worker and not one of the common mob out on a sight seeing tour, out because freedom has been given. I don't have this freedom, my time at lunch is limited. Further I want food which is not going to set me up for a heart attack in ten years from now. Is it too much to ask?
