Hortatory Exposition : Fast Food is Bad for Daily Life

Thesis

In the modern era, knowledges and technologies grow very fast. One of them is fast food. Fast
food is a food that serve simply and quickly. It is also has delicious taste. Many people thing that
if we not eat it, they will feel ‘not cool’. Usually, we eat fast food like burger, sandwich, pizza,
and so on when we had hangout with our friends. But actually, fast food is bad for daily life for
many reasons.

Arguments

The first reason why fast food is bad for daily life is, fast food doesn’t contain enough nutrition.
Nutrition is a chemical substance that we need for our body, so we can do anything like walking,
running, and so on. Malnutrition can causes poor growth and body function. Research on 2010
by dr. Fiastuti Wicaksono, Sp. Gk from Indonesia University (UI) proved that fast food had
cooked early, so the nutrition in fast food like vitamins and minerals had lost. Moreover, fast
food can’t be dissolved by our body. 1 of 10 students in school has obesity because of eating fast
food. It can causes coronary heart disease and stroke.

The second reason why fast food is bad for daily life is, someone who eat fast food can be stupid.
There are many factors that can cause someone smart or stupid, such as his/her education and
his/her food. Unhealthy food can decrease brain function. Research by dr. Kelly Purte from Ohio
State University, USA proved that from 8.500 students, 52% consume fast food 1-3 times/week,
10% consume fast food 4-6 times/weeks, and 10% consume fast foods everyday. And the result
is, students who consume fast food get bad mark in their school, and students who not consume
fast food get good mark in their school.

The third reason why fast food is bad for daily life is, buying fast food is wasteful. In the modern
era, people want everything practically. Now, most of people don’t like cooking, so they begin
consume fast food for their daily menus. Research by Suryanti Aristawati, a university student
from Jombang proved that 52 of 100 respondens like fast food because it is delicious, simple,
fast, and cheap. Therefore, they buy fast food more often tha usual. It means that the people will
be more wasteful.

Recommendation

Based on the arguments, we must relieve consume fast food. It will be better if we stop consume
it. And we must change our unhealthy foods to healthy foods. Besides, we must exercising
regularly so we won’t sick easily.
