The junk we eat

These days, more and more people buy fast food as a part of their daily routine. Everywhere we go, we can see a variety of fast food chains. These food manufacturers sell us unhealthy food, which eventually causes us many problems and affects our behavior badly. In my opinion, the manufacturers should take responsibility and make healthier food.

Fast food may be delicious and easy to get, but it causes our body a lot of problems. That food does not have any nutritive ingredients, it is full of junk, which destroys our bodies. For example, a few years ago a documentary movie came out that discovered the influence of fast food on the human body. The movie "Super Size Me" follows an American man in a 30-day time period in which he eats only McDonald's food. As a result, the thin 32 year old man gained 11.1 kg, a 13% body mass increase, a cholesterol level of 230, and experienced mood swings, and liver damage. It took him fourteen months to lose the weight gained from his experiment.

Moreover, according to the article "The Disaster between Our Ears" the food we eat affects directly our behavior. For example, eating healthy and nutritious food would make you calmer and relaxed compared to eating unhealthy food, which makes you less concentrated and nervous.

To conclude, I believe that the manufacturers should be responsible and make healthier food for the health of everyone. The manufacturers have to add more healthy and nutritious ingredients to their food, and to reduce the quantity of sugar and fat in the food.
