Today people have lack of free time. Most of them are busy at work.
Housewives do the work about the house and look after their children. Children and
students have much to do at school or university. So, as people have little free time

nowadays. Fast food is rich in fats and harmful to our liver and kidneys.
People stop meeting each other. They prefer using the internet to
communicate. But it is not good.
