Band 5.5

With an increasing number of people eating fast food, which if eaten regularly can cause health issues, some people think that the only solution is to ban it completely. To what extent do you agree?

#people #food #health #ban
As the number of people who decide to consume fast
food
 on a regular basis keeps growing, it is considered to forbid
this
 kind of
food
 completely.
This
 essay does not agree with that statement, because people will eventually find a way to obtain junk
food
 and that
this
 type of action would be unfair in regard to others who eat it rarely.
Firstly
, even if the consuming of fast snacks was forbidden, people would find other source which would provide it for them. According to saying “forbidden fruit is the sweetest” our society always looks for an opportunity to obey the rule. The described situation happened in the United States of America in XX century, when the government decided to prohibit obtaining alcohol. The members of the society decided
then
 to obtain liquors from illegal organizations. The law should not forbid the acquisition of any product considering only those, who consume it excessively. Every individual should have a free will and decide on its own what kind of
food
 he involves in his diet
.
Accept space
.
In addition
 to that, if they cannot see the problem with their
food
 habits, there is no solution, which would be working. They need to discern their problem and take the
first
 step towards improving their lifestyle. Among a society, there are some individuals, who consider fast
food
 only as an exception from a well-balanced diet and in these cases
this
 kind of
food
 does not cause any serious health problems. To conclude, prohibiting unhealthy
food
 like fast
food
 is in my opinion pointless, as it would be not only ineffective, but
also
 harmful to the group of people, who does not consume it regularly.
