In many countries traditional food is being replaced by international fast food. Some claim that this has negative effect on both families and societies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, in many ,countries people eat fast
foods
more than traditional
foods
. Some people believe that
this
has a bad effect on
families
and societies. I definitely agree with them and I will explain my reasons in
this
essay. At
first
, using fast
foods
instead
of traditional
food
has been a bad effect on health. Fast
foods
are full of fat and carbohydrates, whereas, traditional
foods
usually have more good nutrients
such
as vitamins.
For example
, fried chicken is one of the most popular fast
foods
in my country but it has a high level of salt and fat. In comprise, salary stue is a traditional
food
in my country and it is made of vegetables and meat so it is healthy.
Secondly
, nowadays, many children and teenagers do not eat traditional
foods
and they do not like them sometimes. I believe that it can be harmful to
society
Replace the word
social
show examples
order to if they don't eat traditional
food
when they grow up they will not
cook
these kinds of
food
,
consequently
,
next
generation will not be familiar with their own
food
culture.
For instance
, many
families
in my country do not know how should they
cook
traditional
food
for their children.
However
, some people say that making traditional
food
for a meal takes a lot of time but there are many healthy and easy and delicious traditional
foods
that they can
cook
. In conclusion, in my idea, eating fast
foods
instead
of traditional
foods
have a negative effect on
families
and society because they are not healthy and if
families
do not
cook
traditional
food
children will not be familiar with them.
