Fast Food

Nowadays people have changed their eating habits for different reasons, sometimes people don’t have enough time to eat, they have different shifts in their jobs, and it is a serious problem for their health. Fast food industries have grown in the last years, nowadays in all the malls or cities we can find restaurants like Taco Bell or McDonalds, and people eat in these places many times. Fast Food industries have created different ways to attract people, for example they put toys in different foods to attract children or they made offers in social networks, and it produces a lot of customers day by day. A fast food restaurant is a great idea for a business, because they buy their ingredients in big quantities and it is very cheap, their ingredients are very common and most of them very cheap, unlike formal restaurants, because they use a lot of ingredients and they have more production costs than fast food restaurants so their dishes are more expensive. Also we have to think that the big part of the customers of that kind of food are young people and they usually don´t worry about what they eat, they think more in prices.

The problem of the fast food is the big number of calories and diseases that they produce in humans, they have a lot of microorganisms that are dangerous for our body. Fast Food Industries don´t hire a chef to prepare their food, many times the waiters or the cashiers do these labors and they also cook and it is not healthy. It is so common in a fast food restaurant to see that they have a little kitchen in which many people work, it produces many problems because most of the time someone forgets ingredients or someone puts in our food more than necessary and it is not good for our body. Few years ago the owners of these restaurants did not inform people about the calories and some ingredients that are not healthy in their foods, but nowadays there are laws that force people to tell what things they are preparing and selling and their components. Fast Food industries many times break the health laws and people don´t want to see the danger to which they are exposed to save money in many cases.

Many doctors forbid their patients to eat this kind of food, because most of them think that this food don´t provide anything to the good health. Fast Food includes things that our body needs, some dishes have properties that our body needs, but we can get this properties in other kind of food. Have a good diet doesn´t mean to stop eating all the products that we can eat in a Fast Food restaurant, we have to eat meals like chicken or fish, but we can prepare them at home, using less fat and preservatives. Fast food industries have changed some of the dishes to make the menus more healthier, they have included salads, sandwiches, teas and other kind of food, but they have a poor quality and have a lot of preservatives many times and it is unhealthy because they don´t use fresh products. But if we are in the job and we have to lunch, it is preferable to eat the “healthy” dishes in a fast food restaurant than a hamburger, pizza, hot dog or fried chicken.

People have to be careful when they eat.  Having a good diet is eating but in a healthy manner, we have to consume products that we can find in Fast Food restaurant, but we can prepare them in a different way. People have to know that having a good diet, doesn´t mean that we have to forget that we can eat a hot dog, a pizza or an hamburger one time per month, because it is nice to eat this kind of food with friends or with the family. People have to visit with the doctor frequently, and a nutritionist if they don´t have a good diet, because gastric diseases are one of the most frequent diseases in people and produce a lot of deaths annually in the world and fast food is one of the big causes. We have to avoid visiting Fast Food Restaurants frequently and teach our parents and children about the problems that we can experiment if we eat in these places very frequently.  If we teach these kinds of things we can reduce gastric diseases in our family. People have to be kept informed about the problems of that kind of food, and report to the authorities if they see problems in this kind of restaurants when they visit these establishments.
