JUNK FOOD SHOULD BE BANNED!

What is Junk food?


Junk food is a term given to food articles which have some or no nutrition value
and adds a lot of calories to the body. These foods are quick to prepare goods
containing excessive fats, sugar, salts and a lot of preservatives. Some examples
of these foods are soft drinks, hamburgers, pizzas, wafers, chocolates, ice creams
and donuts.

Effects of Junk Food:-


Excess of consumption of junk food can cause problems like heart diseases, these
symptoms will not be seen now but will come to one in the future in the form of
heart diseases and other diseases like clotting of blood etc. It can also cause
problems like high cholesterol, apart from forming plaques and constricting
arteries, cholesterol also affects liver where it is metabolized. High cholesterol
from junk food and diet strains liver damaging it eventually. This is a long term
effect. It also affects the energy levels in your body, as it does not provide the
body with the nutrients it needs to suffice it can make you feel drowsy, weak and
sleepy are just a few of the effects. Poor concentration is another result of
excessive consumption of junk food. As junk food contains a lot of oil and hardly
any nutrients, oxygen is not made available to the brain making the brain cells grey.
Making one feel drowsy and sleepy.

Marketing and Advertisements!!


The attractive packaging, advertisements, logos and slogans of these companies
helps them sell their products. These products advertisements are aimed at
children who they can easily persuade towards buying these products. They never
emphasize on the ingredients but always on the taste.
Now It’s Your Decision
After knowing the effects of junk food I would never want anyone to have it and I
suggest that it should indeed be banned. Children are being targeted and they are
the future, we don’t want them to suffer from obesity, heart problems, etc. a
