Now fast food is everywhere. I don't believe in health food there. The problem of excess weight appeared together with fast food. Also I think that the problem is getting worse together with computer and tv. People stay at home, watch TV or play computer games and order and eat fast food.

However, we don't know what ingredients it includes and how it is harmful for our health.

It's true that junk food isn't that nutritious. But paradoxically, many students here in France keep eating junk food. And this is so because they like it. Now, the worldwide debate over obesity and junk food has made restaurants like Mc Donalds change their menus so that they become more nutritious. For example the nutritional components of hamburgers is even indicated and salads have been added to the menus. The government has launhed an advertising campaign on TV telling us that to be healthy, we have to eat less salty and sugary food, and eat at least five fruits and vegetables per day. All in all, I think that the dishes we prepare at home are the most nutritious. Add a good starter and a good desert, practice some sport to keep fit, and that should make you be healthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-38734906953128766262010-12-16T23:55:13.817-07:002010-12-16T23:55:13.817-07:00HI, I'm from Peru, and I think that the answer...HI, I'm from Peru, and I think that the answer for what are the reasons to prefer healthy food rather than junk food, is because more people around the world are living the consequences of their bad habits, now when they are older. <br />In nowadays, the disease that affects everyone in its different types is the "cancer" and that attacks any part of your body, so I think that's why more parents are concerned about giving their children more quality and nutrition with healthy food and discard the junk food.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-2745048628947582012010-11-14T08:41:28.018-07:002010-11-14T08:41:28.018-07:00If loudmouthed minister for Women and Child develo...If loudmouthed minister for Women and Child development Renuka Chowdhury has her way, she would require fast food ads shown on television to have statutory warnings about the pitfalls of eating such unhealthy food.<br /><br />I wouldn't have a problem with that in itself, except for the fact that the term "fast food" or "junk food" in India is viewed in a very distorted manner. In almost every press report (including that of brain-dead Times of India), these terms are synonymous with burgers, fried chicken, and French fries (read MNC fast food). Now, I can understand why in the US this would be the case, since many people do consume these particular items in quantities that lead to obesity and heart disease.<br /><br />But, seriously, what percentage of the Indian population eats at these MNC outlets on a regular basis for these to pose a significant health risk? Maybe 0.1 percent? And why does Renuka think that having these warnings would improve the health of the Indian population at large (even assuming the people who watch the ads heed the advice)?<br /><br />If we classify French fries as junk food, we should also do the same for the roadside chili bajis, pav bhaji, or even the humble masala dosa, since they are not any more healthy. Tell me, will she now want all dhabas and Udupis to post warnings on their menus for all their fried items? Of course not. It is far easier just to indulge in MNC-bashing, which is probably her real agenda anyway.<br /><br />And I hope that is her real agenda. For, if not, there could be only one other rationale behind the whole exercise - the lives of the people that can afford eating at McDonalds matter more. Screw the rest of the people lower down the socio-economic ladder who gorge on their onion pakoras at the roadside stall on a daily basis. Those who really matter would be at the KFC downing chicken nuggets.<br /><br />Either way, it doesn't sound too noble.Prathap B Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-81492006981264708032010-10-14T17:23:18.703-06:002010-10-14T17:23:18.703-06:00Junk food has become very common in Brazil.

I think it's okay to eat junk food some times, on weekends for example, because it's delicious, we can't deny! But have junk food everyday isn't healthy. People need to balance what they eat.
