Fast food is perhaps the quickest way to satisfy your hunger. But according to many experts, fast food can cause serious illnesses: obesity, gastritis, indigestion, pancreatitis, etc. You can hardly find a person who never heard about global fast food chains, such as McDonald’s, Subways, Burger King and so on. Nowadays, fast food industry is one of the most flourishing businesses all over the world. It comes as no surprise, fast food restaurants enjoy wide popularity among average people. It takes you just a few minutes to satisfy your hunger. At any time you have a good choice of magnificent burgers, chips of different tastes, delicious pizzas, and fizzy drinks. Popular music you can always hear in these restaurants makes you feel relaxed and happy. Many people take their children to these places. But many nutritionists insist that you must not eat in fast food restaurants every day. The most forcible argument is that fast food contains lots of fat and preservatives and no healthy ingredients. Fast food producers use trans fat that keeps its freshness for a long time and prevents spoilage of food. Few people know that trans fat is very injurious to health. It is the cause of such diseases as myocardial ischemia, cancer, nervous disorder, sterility, diabetes. What is more, in fast food restaurants we order a lot of fizzy drinks like Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and others. On the one hand, these drinks are very tasty, on the other hand, they are very unhealthy. For example, one little can of cola contains 10 teaspoons of sugar – a maximum dosage for one day. No wonder cola-lovers are so corpulent. To sum it up, fast food is an easy solution for people on a busy day. But we should not eat it too much. Every time we drop into fast food restaurants we’d better order vegetable or fruit salads. And it goes without saying that one cup of green tea is much better that a can of cola. Food may heal or kill you. It’s up to you.
