The effectiveness of eating fast
foods
 is debatable. Some
people
 believe that foreign
foods
 dominate the native traditional
foods
 which provides a negative impact on local
food
 culture. I strongly believe the statement and
this
 essay will provide the various reasons for my view.
First
 and foremost, diverse countries like India have a variety of cultures and
also
 different
food
 traditions. Fast
foods
 are not having enough nutrient content as it is in the local
food
 but
people
 prefer to eat them. Chinese
foods
such
 as noodles, and pasta are now widely popular among Indians, particularly children who love to eat those foreign
foods
.
Moreover
, children were affected by intestinal diseases because of the regular consumption of fast
foods
, to overcome
this
 issue doctors suggest adding more vegetables to their diet which will cure the diseases. Nowadays, hotels and restaurants advertise fast
food
 and attract customers to earn huge profits.
People
 unknowingly consume fast
foods
 on a regular basis and fall sick. In metro cities, the dominance of fast
food
 is very high when compared to the countryside. A recent survey made by a Non-Governmental Organisation shows that
people
 nowadays eat more fast
foods
 in the cities and many children didn't have adequate knowledge about traditional
foods
. In conclusion, the young generation is now forgetting the benefits of local
foods
 because of the increase in the popularity of foreign
foods
.I strongly
agree
