With a fast pace of modern life, more and more people are turning towards fast food for their main meals. Do you think the advantage outweigh the disadvantage?
A large number of
people
nowadays prefer junk food
as their basic meal. This
essay will argue that the drawbacks of fast food
offset the benefits as its high consumption
can lead to diseases and its ingredients are always unknown to the public.
To commence with, one commonly cited advantage of fast food
is that it is not time-consuming. In other words
, people
can order food
within a few minutes in the comfort of their homes. What's more, they can go to restaurants to enjoy different types of these foods. Pizza, an example, is ordered by more than 70% of people
in the USA through different stores. Additionally
, in today's world, due to
less time people
have, they can make themselves stress-free by not spending time preparing their meals.
However
, there are several significant disadvantages associated with junk food
consumption
. Firstly
, it is not a healthy option at all. This
is because, unlike vegetables, food
has to go through various steps to be fried, and is left with no nutrients at the end
. Secondly
, ingredients added during preparation are not well-known and it is more likely to take it blindly. Moreover
, a high quantity of preservatives is mixed to give a longer life to food
. Hence
, this
is not suitable for routine consumption
.
In conclusion, it has become predominant that people
are more dependent on fast foods. Although
there are some advantages to eating this
food
such
as easy and fast availability, it is clear that
high consumption
can make an individual sick as well as
one is even not able to recognize the ingredients being added.Submitted by neetpunar on
