Sex, Drugs and Kebabs

I've just seen a thing on the BBC News where a man is blaming his rock 'n' roll lifestyle for having a stroke. However the story did not full details other than to report that he used to eat kebabs all the time "and the only way to make them taste good was to cover them in salt" Now here's the thing, if the kebabs were not tasty to start with why eat them?
In fact I think there should be more research into the doner kebab and its links to poor health. I mean you have to be suspicious about any kind of food that looks like it's part of a car wash and is comprised of minced stuff on a stick and hangs around for a long time until some is shaved off and served up in a toasted oven glove garnished with limp lettuce and watery chilli sauce. And then you have to bear in mind just how much alcohol you have to consume to start believing that a kebab is a viable source of nutrition...
