In
this
 contemporary era, most people are leaning towards ready-made
food
.
Although
 fast
food
 is a good option for people working full time and is a better option than starving. In my opinion,
this
 has more drawbacks. Fast
food
 makes our life easy and one doesn't have to think about buying raw materials and turning that into a meal.
Firstly
, buying fast

 as it is loaded with sugar and salt which is the main cause of obesity. It is seen in Western countries
for example
 in America where people who consume more fast

 are suffering from obesity and heart conditions.
Apart from
this
,
food
 is poor in nutrition and has no fibre and other nutrients which are required by the body.
Therefore
, the public takes extra vitamins and minerals to compensate for the effect of fast
food
 which is not a healthy option described by many studies. It is believed that in the Western ,world those communities who rely on fast foodstuff have more

 problems compared to communities who cook

 at home.
To conclude
, fast

 has more adverse effects on
health
 and relying on
this
 is not healthy in the long term. It has a significant effect on
health
 which leads to many diseases which can be avoided easily.
