I don’t think so because of the development of the high tech, it not only helps more companies and business establish fast food factories, but it also helps the young people to a variety of food options like KFC, pizza or soft drinks and similar choice. That kind of food contains a lot of unhealthy ingredients and the substance like the fatty or the coloring which leads to many diseases such as obesity or renal disease. That kind of disease have a negative impact on young people’s health. On the other hand, when we compare with young people, today those who have lived from the previous generation, they weren’t able to eat and produce a lot of fast food. In the past, they ate a lot of the vegetables and fresh food without the pesticides. So I think that people live in the modern world are not healthier than those who lived in the past.

I don't think so because of the development of high tech. It not only helps more companies and businesses establish fast food factories, but it also provides young people with a variety of food options like KFC, pizza, or soft drinks. That kind of food contains a lot of unhealthy ingredients and substances like fats and artificial coloring, which lead to many diseases such as obesity and renal disease. These diseases have a negative impact on young people's health. On the other hand, when we compare young people today with those from the previous generation, they weren't exposed to as much fast food. In the past, they ate a lot of vegetables and fresh food without pesticides. So, I think that people living in the modern world are not healthier than those who lived in the past.
