Viewers watch chefs serve up salads without washing the ingredients and often forget to wash their own hands says Layla Jader, a public health consultant from Wales.

"It may be surprising to see chefs at the top of the list, since you would expect them to be in the know when it comes to preparing a nice, healthy meal," the BBC quoted Peter Lauris of Medicash as saying.

Farmers came a close second in the list of unhealthy professions, smoking 50 cigarettes and consuming 14 snacks each week.
