All people knows fast food. Nowadays fast food not just a food, fast food
become a trend. Many people has consume fast food everyday with a simple reason
that fast food is quick and cheap. But behind cheap and quick, fast food has
disadvantages too like the materials of fast food is contains with a lot of
sugar,MSG,calories and salt. Be the smart consumer for a better life.

Talk about fast food, all of us knows that fast food is a food which is prepare and
served quickly at outlets called fast food restaurant. Nowadays people makes fast
food as an alternative of home cooked-meals. Because fast food is cheap, fast food
has a good taste, fast food is quick and also fast food is entertaining. According to
the National Institutes of Health (NIH), fast food ingredients are contain with a high
saturated of fat, sugar and calories. Fast food is also high in sodium. Sodium makes
fast food more flavorful and satisfying. All of us should know that eating too much
fast food for a long time period can lead us to health problem like , obesity, heart
disease and also high blood pressure. Besides the badness of fast food there are
some advantages of fast food like, we can save our money because fast food is cheap,
we can save our time because fast food is served quickly, and nowadays there are
many health fast food options so we don’t need to eat fat burger and some fries.
After we talk about the benefits and disadvantages of fast food, we will talk about
how fast food affect for your mood. If you think the jumbo cheese fries or a jumbo
burger or a pan of pizza can lead you into a good mood, think again. Researchers at
Penn State University have found that, poor eating habits can worsen a person’s
mood. Especially for woman who always concern about how they eat. Kristin Heron,
as a research associate at Penn State's Survey Research Center, says that,”There
was little in the way of mood changes right before the unhealthy eating behaviors” .
i think the statement is true because when you have to eat some fast food like
burger, pizza, some fries or nugget, you will think about the affect of fast food for
your weight and your body’s shape. That thought will lead you into a bad mood.
It’s okay when you are eating fast food, the taste of fast food will makes you feel
happy because fast food has a good taste. But after that, off course you will feel full.
in the reality many people especially woman will have an over thinking about their
weight and their body shape after they have too eat any fast food or eat too much.
 I can conclude that, eating fast food has an advantages and disadvantages for us.
Fast food can affect for our mood too. As a smart consumer, we must able to
distinguish between a healthy food and fast food. Because a better life can start with
consume a healthy food.
