Scientists agree that many people are eating too much junk food and it is damaging their health. Some people think that these problems can be solved by educating people to eat less junk food. Other people believe that education will not work. Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.

Health

experts and researchers have proven that the excessive

consumption

of

junk

food

can be troublesome for one’s

health

. It has now given rise to many

health

related concerns. A lot of fitness experts, dieticians, and nutritionists are trying to teach the people about the consequences and associated risks of

junk

food

. In my opinion, these

awareness

campaigns certainly

help but

Accept comma addition

help, but

they are not enough. Generally speaking, people have no idea of their daily intake of carbohydrates or fats. Both are present in higher quantity in all types of

junk

food

.

Hence

excessive

consumption

of fast

food

may create many

health

problems in the future. The recent statistics show that there has been an increase in the incidences / cases of heart problems, diabetic issues and obesity problems amongst even young people. To counter

this

, the government has already launched many

health

education campaigns. In my opinion, these campaigns certainly help people to distinguish healthy

food

from unhealthy

food

.

However

, by simply imparting education about the importance of eating right, the government cannot reduce the

consumption

of

junk

food

. To start with, many people who consume these convenience foods are highly educated. They know fast

food

harms their

health

; yet they consume it because they find it easy and convenient.

For example

, busy executives do not have time to cook proper meals. It is easier for them to grab a packet of instant noodles than to prepare

dosa

plural of that

those

soda

or

chapathi

at home.

Health

awareness

programmes may not have the right effect on them. A better solution is to make healthy

food

more affordable and more easily available. To conclude, launching educational and

awareness

campaigns about the harmful effects of

junk

food

is certainly beneficial;

however

, that alone is unlikely to reduce the

consumption

of

junk

food

because lack of

awareness

is rarely the reason that encourages people to eat

junk

. A better solution is to make healthy

food

readily available.
