Around the world today, there is an increase in the availability of snacks and a reduction in prices. I believe
this
Linking Words
recent development has more negative than positive effects on the health and well-being of the people.
To begin
Linking Words
, already made food is now being sold all over the world,
this
Linking Words
increase in demand has been caused by various factors.
Firstly
Linking Words
, they are cheap and as
such
Linking Words
very affordable to buy as both the poor and rich would be able to access them.
For example
Linking Words
, burgers and pancakes contain a large amount of sugar in them thereby making them tasty and are now being sold for a penny.
Secondly
Linking Words
, they contain a large number of calories and are more satisfying.
Finally
Linking Words
, they can be easily accessed from every ten-kilometre distance in most cities resulting in an increase in their consumption.
However
Linking Words
, irrespective of the benefits these foods seem to have, I`m of the opinion that their drawbacks outweigh their advantages as snacks and other fast foods are mostly carbonated and stored with preservatives that are highly cancerous to the health and wellbeing of man, a case scenario is noodles being sold in Nigeria.
This
Linking Words
meal, despite being delicious, contains a chemical called MSD
that is
Linking Words
used as its preservative and has been proven by scientists to be very cancerous and putting the consumers at risk of having cancer.
Also
Linking Words
, snacks contain a high amount of Sodium and unsaturated fat, a typical illustration is a pizza which contains these substances and predisposes one to have heart conditions
such
Linking Words
as hypertension and atherosclerosis thereby increasing the risk of heart failure. To conclude, junk is now being made less expensive and available for consumption, as much as
this
Linking Words
development favours individuals the consequential health challenge these substances stand to give humans to be greatly considered and I,
therefore
Linking Words
,recommend that government regulate the sales of these edible.
