                                                   Fast Food                 


             Fast food is a term used for ready to serve food sold by restaurants shops and other establishments that specialize in serving the food quickly. Also, frequently the food outlet forms a self-service format as compared to table service in regular full-service restaurants. Also, the fast food is often served in a packaged form that permits taking away or taking out the food and eating it at  places like park benches or in cars. People also eat such food while traveling in vehicles or even walking.


              Nowadays a lot of people prefer to eat out than to cook home. Going out for dinner is not a new habit at all. From medieval times, people had places in the town where they could drink and eat. At present, these types of places are called restaurants,  cafes, fast foods, etc. There are many reasons for which people enjoy eating out: meeting friends, having fun; less time spent in the kitchen, more time for themselves, etc. Time is one of the main reasons. People are extremely busy nowadays, thus, cooking home is seen like wasting time in vain. For example, I am studying abroad and sometimes I do not have time to cook. I eat fast food. Sometimes I have test or homework. I do not like fast food, but we need to eat fast food sometimes because of  a busy life

                 In Healthy, Fast Food said:"The truth is that it’s extremely difficult to follow a healthy diet when you’re regularly eating  at fast food restaurants. Fast food is typically high in trans fat, saturated fat, sodium, and calories. And it also tends to be low in nutrients and almost totally lacking in fruits, vegetables, and fiber".



                  Even though fast food industry offers employment opportunities to many people, it is vital to put into account the detrimental effects of these restaurants. It is absurd that many people do not take the time to think of the content and the mode of preparation of the foods they purchase. Fast food leads to  obesity, Cancer, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease and increased risk for developing hypertension, asthma and high cholesterol

                  In summary, We need to organize our time to avoid eating fast food. My suggestion to you I do not  Prevent you to eat fast food but try  avoid eating saturated fat. Also, Try to eat healthy eating such as fish, shrimp, salads and  juices
