Traditional food is being replaced by international fast food. This has negative effects on family and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#food #effects #society
This
 is a fact that in many countries, traditional dishes are being replaced with international fast
foods
.
For instance
, in the country where I live, I have seen the rise of fast-
food
 restaurants in my life span. Many
health
 experts are concerned about the negative effects of junk
food
 on citizens'
health
 and some authorities have made policies to limit fast
food
 consumption in the community. In
this
 essay, I will discuss if traditional fast
food
 is really a big threat to society or not and if it is, to what extent we should be concerned. On the one hand, some people say that traditional
food
 is on its way to extinction. As fast
food
 is pleasant and favourable for young generation's taste, they will soon forget their country's classic
foods
 and that will be a pity since traditional
foods

 they are a part of their local culture that has to be protected.
on the other hand

's role in people's lives, local dishes can not be eliminated easily. Humans get used to their mother's
food
 flavour since their childhood and can not forget it. To give an example, traditional Indian
food
 restaurants have been developed in European countries and are still popular among the Indian minority in Europe. I agree with
this
 view that fast
foods
 are generally, but not always, more unhealthy in comparison to traditional
foods
 since they contain more fat and sugar.
Moreover
, they change native cultures' lifestyles, but I believe that fast
foods
 were born because of a necessity. Modern life is busy and
