I have no arguments about fast-food either, and yet I can cook *very*
good home-made food (many say they've never had a better risotto for
example), but I have a distaste when those who should know better
trample and "food-snob" upon those people whilst doing the very same
thing themselves.

It's a fast-food, cooking, hypocrisy!
