Many claim that the fast-food industry had a negative effect on the environment, eating habits, and families. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Whether fast-food companies have severe impacts on the climate, the

health

of people, and families, have developed a considerable debate these days. A school of thought believes that there is no

such

negative impact of the junk food industry on the

environment

and

health

.

Nevertheless

, I am of the opinion that

such

kinds of

industries

affect the overall

environment

as well as human

health

significantly.

Firstly

, there are a plethora of severe side-effects of the consumption of junk

foods

, and recently many published reports supported

this

fact. The best example is a report of August 2021, published in a prestigious journal “Science” in which investigation was carried out over 2000 subjects for the analysis of harmful effects of junk

foods

. Unfortunately, the findings were so heart-breaking which revealed that almost 40% of participants who were habitual of fast

foods

, suffered from many deadly diseases

such

as heart attacks, sudden high blood pressure and cancer.

Therefore

, the rapid evolution of the fast-food industry has substantial negative effects on public

health

and eating habits.

Secondly

, the emergence of these

industries

has unfavourable effects on the

environment

and climate.

For instance

, the application of various kinds of non-renewable materials in the packaging of fast

foods

deteriorates and damages the climate.

In addition

to

this

, the production of these

foods

at a large scale in these

industries

generates a lot of wastage and other unwanted products. Eventually, these are discarded to rivers and some specific locations which possess a great threat again to the

environment

.

Hence

, the development of these events and processes due to the food industry showed their unfavourable approach towards the

environment

and human

health

. In conclusion, there are various threats by junk-food

industries

in terms of the public

health

,

environment

, and eating habits of the people. I believe that the threat to the

environment

could be managed and improved by employing the latest technology in

industries

.

However

, some other threats would not be reduced to the desired level.
