In numerous nations, fast foods come to being more affordable and there is an upward trend to the ubiquity of fast-food outlets (on a global scale). Though it may seem economically favourable, in my opinion, fundamental drawbacks of consuming these foods outpace benefits and I will elaborate on my reasons for thinking so in the following essay.
17.10 On the one hand, lower income families (= economically disadvantaged families) have positive considerations for the fast-food chains by virtue of their accessibility, prevalence and reasonable prices for a square meal.
Notwithstanding economic merits, I am inclined to think that the underlying reasons are mainly related to (stem from) its timesaving aspect and white-collar workers, leading a busy work life or having limited time to complete their paperwork, are a case in point.
17.28 On the other hand, for all the upsides they offer, fast-foods have serious detrimental impacts on the body health of regular consumers, for instance (to exemplify, to illustrate), gaining weight, increasing body fat percentage or acne problem to name but a few. As a consequence, mental health issues arise regarding appearance or eating disturbance. A studied conducted at Michigan State University revealed that fast food contains massive proportion of Chinese salt which adversely affects the amount of water in the human body and significantly increases the desire for consuming fast foods.
17.43 In conclusion, the worldwide demand for fast food products is on the increase on the grounds of availability and affordability. To my way of thinking, demerits, particularly health risks, outrank the merits.17.48
