SHOULD GOVERNMENT REGULATE THE FAST FOOD INDUSTRIES IN THE SAME WAY THAT REGULATES THE DRUG, ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO INDUSTRIES?

As the
convenience
food
industries
have been constantly developing, many find it a negative trend and suggest that the government should impose strict regulations on these
industries
.
However
, from my perspective, I absolutely disagree with the notion mentioned above, and
this
essay will explain why.
To begin
with, junk
food
should not be controlled due to the
convenience
and taste it brings. Life has been more and more complicated, so people strive literally hard to earn a living.
Therefore
, little do they have enough time to cook themselves, which makes eating out an appropriate option. Not only is
convenience
food
fast and reasonable, but they are well-made and always available no matter where or when.
For instance
, Mc’s Donald is

, and a vast majority of Americans love eating high-fat foods. On top of that, many believe that fast
food
is too seriously addictive and toxic that it should be treated in the same way as
drugs
, alcohol and tobacco; but I highly doubted
this
suggestion. Admittedly, too much fast
food
consumption may increase the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes, which affects our physical as well as mental health.
However
,
convenience
food
is completely not as harmful as
drugs
, alcohol or tobacco; as one can still control how much junk
food
he or she consumes rather than being dependent on it.
In other words
, too much fast
food
consumption might result in some cardiovascular-related problems, while having too
much

drugs
could lead to insomnia, hallucinations, or even fatality.
Thus
, it is totally unfair to restrict fast
food
production in the same way as other addictive products. To conclude, it is undeniable that
convenience
food
does contain harmful chemicals or preservatives, fast
food
remains popular among young people nowadays.
However
, I strongly oppose the suggestion of imposing a restriction on
convenience
food
industries
, especially in the same way as
drugs
, alcohol and tobacco
industries
, because comparing junk
food
and addictive products is like comparing an apple and an orange.
