Takeaway troubles

Burgers and kebabs are the most popular choices for late-night food, according to an unsurprising new report.

According to the statistics, 75% of 18-24 year olds head for a takeaway after a night out.

The statistics come from Keep Britain Tidy, which also report that 25% of UK streets are littered with these Styrofoam boxes once the greasy food has been consumed.

The lack of cleanliness appears to be the second or third link in the chain. If young people were not to buy the sub-par food from takeaway chains at the end of the night, there would be less litter. But often, this food is bought after a night of binge drinking – and any food is likely better than none at all.
