Advantages and Disadvantages of Fast Foods Currently most of the people prefer fast foods and foods cooked in microwave ovens instead of preparing and cooking homemade foods that takes take longer to prepare. The trend of having food quickly has both advantages and disadvantages either. In my opinion, the only benefit of eating fast foods and foods cooked in microwave ovens is to provide to save time. There are many people who live in a rush and have loads to do. In this case, it’s hard to find time to cook a meal. Therefore, fast foods and foods cooked in microwave ovens emerge as a solution for those people. But there are many drawbacks of fast foods that outweigh this advantage. Since fast food restaruants became widespread, some people do not eat balanced and nutrious meals. That causes serious health problems later. Especially For children, to eat balanced, healthy and nutrious food is essential for proper growth. To eat so much fast foods in childhood might cause perminent permanent growth disorders that might affect on children’s psychology as well. Rates of obesity increases inevitably just as with the proliferation of eating fast foods. Obesity is not just to be overweight. It The results of obesity are significant health problems. In some countries, obesity rates are so high that the governments of that those countries must take measures instantly to prevent this increase (If I understand this correctly, you are suggesting that governments decide who is fat and then will force that person to lose weight. Will the government stop your food supply if you do not lose weight? This seems to be quite an incursion into the private lives of people. I suggest that you consider what the function of government is.). Also, the belief that microwave ovens trigger cancer is an noteworthy one, and one that I believe in. There is the same thought about fast foods too. All things considered, we can conclude that to eat fast foods and foods cooked in microwave ovens is to play with our healths health for the sake of saving a little time. When we lose our health, neither money, nor time can get it back.
