In some countries, traditional foods are replacing by international fast food. This has a negative effect on both families and societies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is a common belief that an increasing number of people prefer eating international

foods

rather than local bread.

This

phenomenon impinges on both community and the public.

However

, I tend to concur with the above statement and provide my support. One of the major issues related to

this

is that consumption of fast

food

or junk

food

instead

of traditional

food

carries health risks. Fast

foods

have a high amount of sugar, calories and saturated fat, whereas, traditional

foods

usually have more good nutrients

such

as vitamins. Fried chicken and hamburgers,

for example

, are one of the most popular fast

foods

but they have a high level of salt and fat,

thus

, they put on weight, are prone to obesity and are difficult to keep in shape.

In contrast

, traditional

foods

are made of fresh vegetables and meat so they are healthy.

However

, 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 because they do not consume traditional

food

and are unwilling to take up how to cook these kinds of

food

,

consequently

, the

next

generation will not be familiar with their own

food

culture.

For instance

, many families in my country do not know how to cook their own traditional

food

for their children.

In addition

, some people say that making traditional

food

for a meal takes a lot of time. To sum up, for these reasons I agree with the above view that fast

food

consumption rather than traditional cuisine has a detrimental impact on families and society because they are not healthy and lose national identity.
