‘What about the people who are affected and as a result feel awful about themselves and whichever part of their body Almost Famous has reminded them they’re not satisfied with?’

The writer has also accused the food chain, which has sister outlets in Manchester and Liverpool, as having an ‘anti-female’ menu, with the likes of 'b*tch juice' and 'sl*t sauce' making an appearance.
