With a fast pace of modern life more and more people are turning towards fast food for their main meals. Do you think the advantages outweigh disadvantages.

#pace #life #people #food #meals
With the advancement of technology and the internet, it is easier now to be available at all hours of the day, whether you are at home or at a doctor's appointment.
This
 means, in most cases, the normal working hours are no longer applicable. Because of
this
, many people find the cooking of a meal a very time-consuming time, as they are
also
 on the go, thereby resorting to fast
food
 outlets for their meals as the
food
 is easily available.
However
,
this
 poses more drawbacks as compared to advantages. The main pros that arise for the
consumption
 of fast
food
, is it is easily available, as there are outlets almost everywhere. No cooking is required, and cleaning the dishes is out of the question. It is a cheaper option for a meal whilst travelling. Fast
food
 is considered by many as a stress reliever, as it often tastes the same. It is
also
 hygienic and is
also
 a great substitute for people who are out of time.
On the other hand
, fast
food
 consists of unhealthy ingredients, saturated fats, they have too many calories. High
consumption
 of these foods can lead to health-related problems, and cause reductions in your physical fitness. They are usually low on essential minerals and vitamins.
Consumption
 of large quantities of fast
food
 may lead to addictions that would be hard to get rid of, and
also
 they may affect your appearance and your self-esteem. In conclusion,
although
 fast
food
 may meet the requirement of
food
 on the go, the overall drawbacks that it carries should cause a hindrance in its
consumption
. What we should keep in mind is that even though it helps meets our requirement for a quick meal now, it will cause way more problems in the future.
