However

Suggestion

 could expose one to unhealthy eating habit. In my opinion, I think the disadvantages of fast foods outweighs the
convenience
 it gives to its consumers.
First
, sustaining

 for a week in a couple of days.
This
 cost could vary based on the content of the package. A

Suggestion
Prepacked

Secondly
, ready-made foods can be a risk factor to obesity and cardiac diseases. A lot of fast

Suggestion
consume
 in large quantities. For individuals with sedentary
work
 habit, the impact on health is more and could lead to cardiac arrest and death.
On the contrary
,
this
 type of dieting saves one a lot man hours that could have been spent in the kitchen making food. Some people wake up very early in the morning to make breakfast before preparing for
work
 every day. While the saved time from doing fast foods can be used for other things like for leisure, rest or do more
work
, the negative consequences on human health is far more important to be overlooked. I strongly think the practice of
convenience
 dieting should be moderated or completely avoided.
