A Canadian tourist got more than they bargained for during a visit to the UK when they stumbled upon what’s been dubbed the country’s 'fattest city'—all thanks to a stop at Greggs.
The visitor, who had been eager to try Britain’s famous bakery chain, was shocked to learn that their indulgent meal had led them straight to the heart of the nation’s obesity debate.
Greggs Feast Leads to Eye-Opening Discovery
After enjoying a hearty selection of pasties, sausage rolls, and sweet treats, the tourist was stunned to find out that the city they were in had been labelled the UK’s unhealthiest hotspot.
'I couldn’t believe it,' they said. 'The food was delicious, but I had no idea I was in the country’s capital of calorie overload!'
The City Behind the Controversy
While the exact location wasn’t disclosed in the original report, data suggests that several UK cities have been flagged for high obesity rates—often linked to the abundance of fast-food outlets like Greggs.
Public health experts warn that while the occasional pastry is harmless, frequent visits to bakeries and takeaways could contribute to long-term health issues.
A Wake-Up Call for Brits?
The Canadian’s experience has sparked fresh conversations about diet and lifestyle choices in the UK. With obesity rates climbing, some are calling for stricter regulations on fast-food advertising and better education around nutrition.
For now, though, Greggs remains a beloved British institution—even if it comes with a side of controversy.
