In the modern world, fast food appears more frequently in our daily life. Some people argue that fast food takes bad effects on our lifestyle and diet. I completely agree with this idea for three main reasons bellow
Firstly, our health is adversely influenced by regularly consuming fast food. In contrast to the fact that fast food appeals to our appetites, it can not meet our needs for nutrition for a day of work. Consuming fast food can only satisfy our hunger but it does not provide a sufficient amount of nutrients required for a good diet. For example, higher level of obesity is a widespread trend in big cities which is mainly caused by the habits of having fast food. Moreover, this expansion should be responsible for not only obesity but also diabetes and heart diseases. In addition, such fast food as chips or fried chickens are often cooked through over used oils which if increasingly ingested will cause many serious diseases.
Secondly, the habit of eating fast food spoils our common tradition of family meals. Having meals with family has been long a popular way by which people share their sadness and happiness during a day. Moreover, during family meals, parents can educate their children about how to behave politely to other people and to deal with problems in life. However, our daily life is becoming much busier, as the result of this people tend to have their meals at fast food stores rather than at their home. The association among a family's members therefore no longer exists.
Finally the medical disadvantages associated with fast food, the production and selling of junk food puts a significant negative impact on the environment. The amount of resources necessary to raise the meat for fast food products creates a shortage of resources around the world. For example, every pound of hamburger we consume takes 2500 gallons of water and 16 pounds of grain to produce, say nothing of the land needed to raise the cattle and the grains to feed them. Some have reported growing extra breast tissue or developing damage to the immune system from eating fast food on a regular basis.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend that people should reduce the intake of fast food in their daily lives in order to make a healthy lifestyle and to maintain the tradition of family gathering for meal
