Thousands of years ago, people’ priority was to provide food.

Nowadays, adults do
not have time to cook at home and they usually choose to eat junk food. The positive and
negative consequences of this habit are going to be debated in the following paragraphs.
First of all, as the fast food world spread across the nation, many health problems were
shortly following, which is obviously a bad thing. In the last few years the risk of heart attack
and clogged arteries has increased, because eating junk food implies consuming saturated
fats, which is the main cause of these cardiovascular diseases.
Second of all, when talking about food, an important criterion is the price. It is well
known that the average cost of eating at McDonald’s is six euros, while eating at the
restaurant costs about 30 euros. Choosing fast food saves a lot of money, which can be used
to do something else, like buying medicines / drugs.
Finally, the time factor cannot be ignored. For some people, who are always in a hurry
or just cannot stand the fact of wasting their free time in the kitchen the fact that he or she
can buy a burger with French fries within a few minutes will always be the chosen
alternative.
To sum up, there is no doubt that fast food has both advantages and disadvantages,
but I do believe that eating this kind of food is not a good idea, because it could lead to
serious health problems, which is a fact that cannot be ignored.
