Greggs have this image of being your local wholesome and friendly bakery, but look a little deeper and you see that it's a big business using lots of sharp tactics to maximise their profits at your expense.

Not as wholesome means lots of fillers rather than the main ingredient like beef or chicken of which there's only a small amount and especially an overload of salt which is bad for your blood pressure and heart. Fat gets a bad rap too. You should be aware of these issues before buying from them and perhaps buy their food in moderation rather than everyday.

Great if you like mayonnaise. Greggs is good for satisfying your cravings, while not so much for health :P
