Assalamualaikum everyone
Nice to meet you in this period of lesson
Well, last week you have done task 1by putting the number of
pictures foods in the pie chart based on its healthy type.
1. Junk food
2. Fast food
3. Healthy food
So,to check our understanding about type of food ,
Lets see the meaning of them
 Health food is food considered beneficial to health in ways that
go beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition.
Because there is no precise, authoritative definition from
regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, different dietary practices can be considered
healthy depending on context.Foods considered "healthy" may
be natural foods, organic foods, whole foods, and sometimes
vegetarian or dietary supplements. Such products are sold in
health food stores or in the health/organic sections of
supermarkets.

Healthy eating means consuming the right quantities of foods

from all food groups in order to lead a healthy life.

 Fast food refers to food that can be prepared and served quickly.
 The term “junk food” is used to describe food that is low in
nutritional value, with a comparatively high caloric value.

Fast food nowadays is considered a normal eating venture. People are not just eating out on
special occasions or weekends anymore. It means that all the time they mostly eat fast foods.
However is fast food good for health?
Firstly, fast food has its popularity in the 1940’s. Within a few years, fast-food operations
popped up everywhere. With the compelling rise in fast-food restaurants since the 1940’s, oddly it
started the rise in obesity and cancer during that same time period.
Secondly, fast food is highly processed with a wide array of additives. To ensure fast food’s
low cost, the fast food products are made with highly-processed ingredients to give it shelf-life, to
hold consistency, and to enhance flavor. Fast food is altered from its original healthy form.
Additionally, it is not the calories in fast food which damage health and waistline. It is the
chemical additives such as aspartame and MSG (monosodium glutamate). Studies show that the
chemical additives lead to weight and disease issues.
