In some places, fast food, prepared meals, and sugary drinks are now sold in more shops and at lower prices than in the past. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
There is no doubt that these days many
people
prefer eating fast meals
to healthy food
in addition
to sugary drinks becoming, recently, so popular. On the other hand
, junk food
was in fewer shops and at higher prices in the past. The question is whether this
is a positive or a negative progression. In this
essay, I am going to discuss both the downsides and upsides of fast food
and examine why I feel that it is a negative enhancement in the field of food
production.
In terms of the negative side, the more fast food
you eat, the more likely you will be susceptible to fat disorders. The main reason given to support this
claim is that fast food
is enriched with fats and calories, leading to fat diseases and overweight. To illustrate, the Big Tasty meal (one of McDonald's most-bought meals
) contains about 800 calories alone. Moreover
, it affects our cholesterol levels in the blood. For instance
, many studies have proven that one of the main reasons for high levels of cholesterol is such
prepared meals
.
Although
pre-made food
can infect people
with various diseases, it has some positive effects. In fact, fast food
restaurants conserve time for people
, making them work more efficiently instead
of thinking about what they will cook every day. For example
, when I was young, my mother used to hardly think what she would cook for me and my brother each day, affecting her ability to focus on her work. Certainly, this
is why many people
tend to eat prepared meals
.
In conclusion, despite the advantages of junk meals
, the disadvantages far outweigh the upsides. Therefore
, I believe that people
, mostly younger, should only eat meals
prepared at home. In order to decrease eating fast food
, we should increase their prices.Submitted by menagouda24 on
