Game, 'Build a Better Burger' game for 2-4 players ages 5 and over, marked 'All the action of a real fast food restaurant!', made by Action Games and Toys Ltd, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, under license from Lakeside Games (a division of Leisure Dynamic Inc, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA), 1984-1986. Players compete to be the first to assemble a meal according to the menu card they select.
This game was launched in the 1980s, when obesity levels across the world showed a significant rise. Promising ‘all the action of a real fast food restaurant!’, it reflects our sometimes confusing relationship with food and drink.
Today, the easy availability of high-calorie foods, larger portion sizes and our increasingly sedentary lifestyles are a major influence on both our body weight and our health prospects.
