Scientific findings have clearly indicated that the excessive consumption of fast
food
is leading to the deterioration of people’s health. According to some people, this
unhealthy practice can be stopped by means of education
; however
, some others have little faith in this
solution. As the supporters of each view have their own justifications, whether education
is effective remains to be seen in this
essay.
On the one hand, raising the awareness of people towards the dangers of unhealthy food
can certainly yield some promising outcomes. Firstly

On the other hand
, some people doubt the effectiveness of education
for certain reasons. To begin
with, despite being aware of the negative effects of fast food
, many people who are too busy persist to eat it due to its being convenient and time-saving. In this
case, education
