Fast food is perhaps the quickest way to satisfy your hunger. But
according to many experts, fast food can cause serious illnesses:
obesity, gastritis, indigestion, pancreatitis, etc.
You can hardly find a person who never heard about global fast food
chains, such as McDonald’s, Subways, Burger King and so on. Nowadays,
fast food industry is one of the most flourishing businesses all over
the world. It comes as no surprise, fast food restaurants enjoy wide
popularity among average people. It takes you just a few minutes to
satisfy your hunger. At any time you have a good choice of magnificent
burgers, chips of different tastes, delicious pizzas, and fizzy drinks.
Popular music you can always hear in these restaurants makes you feel
relaxed and happy. Many people take their children to these places.
But many nutritionists insist that you must not eat in fast food
restaurants every day. The most forcible argument is that fast food
contains lots of fat and preservatives and no healthy ingredients. Fast
food producers use trans fat that keeps its freshness for a long time
and prevents spoilage of food. Few people know that trans fat is very
injurious to health. It is the cause of such diseases as myocardial
ischemia, cancer, nervous disorder, sterility, diabetes.
What is more, in fast food restaurants we order a lot of fizzy drinks
like Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and others. On the one hand, these drinks are
very tasty, on the other hand, they are very unhealthy. For example, one
little can of cola contains 10 teaspoons of sugar – a maximum dosage
for one day. No wonder cola-lovers are so corpulent.
To sum it up, fast food is an easy solution for people on a busy day.
But we should not eat it too much. Every time we drop into fast food
restaurants we’d better order vegetable or fruit salads. And it goes
without saying that one cup of green tea is much better that a can of
cola. Food may heal or kill you. It’s up to you.
