Fast food industry is made because the rising needs of efficient and cheap food. However, some people assumed that this industry had a negative effect on nature, people’s diet and families. This assumption might be based on the increasing obesity rate and global warming throughout the year. In my opinion, the most important part is to have consciousness when buying fast food, since the effect might severe if you lack exercise.
While it is true that fast food industry promotes convenient, it also encourages people to eat many calories in one gulp. On top of that, the food provided by this industry have very little variety of nutrition. Most food only fulfills the carbohydrate and calories daily needs. What about fiber and other nutrients? This repeated action will eventually lead to many unhealthy habits. Since fast food is convenient and easy to get, people will choose it as their main sources of food, forgetting other essential nutrients to consume.
Whereas an adequate amount of fast food can be beneficial for people with limited access to healthy food. For instance, you have a job as a data scientist, this job requires constant concentration and less time to think about trivial things. In a situation like this, most people tend to choose the widely available food such as fast food or convenient food. Fast food is a better option for it is often easier to consume and have delivery feature. After long period of work, please start your eating habit from scratch and absence from any less nutritional food.
To summarize, the fast food industry has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is our duty to choose wisely and not tempted to any bad eating habits. The downside of this industry is how many people prefer to eat fast food rather than real food. Despite those disadvantages, fast food can become a lifesaver too for people with limited time and access to normal food.
