Eating Junk Food is Dangerous for Health
Fast food is not good for heath: - Whenever I listen to the word "fast food," burgers, nuggets, pizzas and many more things come in front of my eyes. But just after all such delicious and mouth-watering names "obesity" is that horrible word which makes me frightened of all this stuff. I loved junk food too. After knowing the facts about it, I abandoned eating the "delicious poison" forever(BBC, 2013).
Eating junk food is a style and a habit of people of this time. Almost everyone likes the junk foods and eating such things is being a habit of the people of thepresent time. Especially, the children and the new generation are indulged in it at the dangerous level. People don't think about it and simply go and grab the things which they don't have the idea are deadly dangerous for them. Junk food is so common that no one even has a notion of its production and the side-effects. Unhygienic and cheap food is destroying our body and nerves on a larger scale(Sharma, 2017).
Eating such things is so much dangerous that we cannot even imagine it. People are getting ill and having different kinds of diseases, not in days but minutes. Even the country like America is unable to control this virus which is spreading very fast in the veins of thenew generation(Young, 2007).
I saw a movie named "Supersize me" in which a person named Morgan Spurlock does a social experiment by eating the junk food for a month because his daughters got the obesity problems after eating the burgers from McDonald's(EglishFlyer, 2008). He was super fit before, but after eating the junk food only for a month from McDonald, he faces many problems like diabetes, blood pressure, and many more unexpected and terrifying problems. He proved that the consumption of such cheap food in America taking the new generation towards the death. The same McDonald operated about one thousand restaurants in 1968. Today it has about twenty-eight thousand restaurants worldwide, and it opens almost two thousand new restaurants every year(Johnson, 2013).
Calories are the fuel of thehuman body. They are as important as the petrol for a car. Eating fast food takes the calories level so high that we become extra slow, obese and sleep our cells start destroying. The excess amount of calories disturbs the whole system of human body. Today every big country is facing the same problem of obesity and many other harmful diseases which it takes as a bonus. USA, UK, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Greece, Mexico, France and many more countries are in the highest ranks of obesity caused by fast food(SCHLOSSER, 201).
The world's renowned news agency BBC claims that eating fast food thrice a week causes the children to face asthma and eczema. It generates the high levels of unhealthy fats in thehuman body. It says that 500,000 children from 50 countries are facing the poor diet problems because of the fast food consumption. The children of 7 to 8 years are more likely to catch the worst conditions(BBC, 2013).
According to "The Guardian,"fast food is shortening the life span of the children. Its eye-opening report shows us that the fast-food culture is killing the new generation to the dangerous level. The experts tell that 3.5 million children have type-2 diabetes which was totally unheard of such age group before. World Obesity Federation claims that it could increase up to 4.1 million by 2025. 24 million children have high blood pressure, and more than 33 million have the fatty liver issue. These were the numbers of obese children, the amount of "overweighed" children were having more various problems including cancer(Boseley, 2016).
Advertisements are boosting and helping out these deadly things to be spread in the world. We see a person drinking a carbohydrate drink excessively to show his "power" and to increase his energy, which is not true at all. Hardees, Pizza Hut, Domino's and many more companies are using tempting ways to catch the audience, especially kids to make them addicted to the junk food. All such advertisements should be controlled in a proper and strict way so people can get rid of it(Young, 2007).
In the previous decades, cigarettes had the same consumptions like the fast food now. Restrictions made on the attractive and death-luring advertisements, which caused a prominent number of users leaving this health damaging stuff. The governments of different countries should ban the advertisements of burgers, hot dogs, and pizzas, etc. If we don't take the firm steps against this all, we will have to watch the catastrophic results in our race.
Only in America, people are spending more money on fast foods than their personal computers and computer software. They are spending more on fast food than their education, books, new cars, movies, videos, music, and magazines. "New York Times," says that Americans spent 6 billion dollars on fast food in 1970. In 2000, they spent approximately 110 billion dollars on fast food. Fast food is being served almost everywhere. Motels, educational institutes, cafeterias, zoos, airports, stadiums, petrol stations and even in hospitals everyone is selling all the stuff knowingly or unknowingly(SCHLOSSER, 201).
Life is a blessing for us, and it is our responsibility to take care of it. There are many other good ways to exchange these habits of eating junk food. We have to increase the utilization of fruits in our daily life. Cold drink and sodas should be abandonedimmediately, and we have to drink juices and other healthy drinks. Children and the new generation should know about the dangers of it. Campaigns should be started to aware the people about it around the world. It is a cause on which a huge number of people should work very hard.
Eating More Ultraprocessed ‘Junk’ / "Fast" Food Linked to Higher CVD Risk
If we don't stop all this right now, we will see our children dying earlier in front of our eyes. If we don't take it seriously, our new generation will not be able to live happy and a healthy life. They will spend the shorter years of life than our ancestors did. We have to do it today, or we won't do anything.
From this writing, it is concluded that there is no doubt that fast foods have good taste, and they are easily available, but at the same time, they are very dangerous for our health. Fast foods are the major reason for obesity among the America children. Therefore, Americans are also called fast food nation. Subsequently, from the example of the documentary "Supersize me," it is found that fast food addiction can cause very serious health related issues such as the super fit person Spurlock when used to eat McDonald's fast food for continuous 30 days. He gained weight up to 25 pounds as well as he started to feel lose his stamina and due to the fast food he felt that his cholesterol level, as well as his blood pressure, disturbed as well. Moreover, it can also be seen in many studies that fast food can lead to severe health related issues that increase the chances of health attack. Therefore, it is suggested that we should eat fast food, but we should not let the fast food to eat us.
