Fast food is popular among students and working people. But is it good for your health? In this essay, I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of fast food and support my view with examples.
One advantage of fast food is convenience: people can have a hamburger at a local fast food café or take it away to eat later. Furthermore, fast food allows
people to save time and money.
The popular pack
age of a hamburger, cola and fried potato (
do you mean french fries or a singular fried potato?) is usually readily available and will not empty you
r wallet. In addition
to this, there is no need to do the washing up.
However, there are some disadvantages. Many experts say that fast food is not good for
your health. First of all, fast food is rich in carbohydrates and calories. It may cause
problem of excessive weight
gain. Secondly, fast food is not as fresh and natural as traditional, organic food. Moreover, it contains artificial flavors and taste boosters. That’s why people (especially children) become addicted to fast food.
To summarize on the one hand, fast food can be a good choice when
there is not you do not have much time and money, but on the other hand, it may cause health problems.
In my view, fast food may be helpful sometimes, but we should always carefully select food to be eaten.
