Answer 2

                                               Junk Food

Robert Atkins, the famous American physician and cardiologist said, “Everyone would be healthier if they didn't eat junk food.”  The tsunami of junk food has struck the entire world.  It has wreaked havoc on the health of people, especially of children. Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cholesterol imbalance, headaches, depression, dental problems, etc, never ever abounded as much before the advent of junk foods as they do now.

The only advantages of fast food are to the manufacturers. There is little nutritional value in them. These foods are often high in calories yet offer little or no nutritional value. When fast food frequently replaces nutritious foods in your diet, it can lead to poor nutrition, poor health, and weight gain. Tests in lab animals have even shown a negative effect in short duration diets. Being overweight is a risk factor for a variety of chronic health problems including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.    

The Health Ministry and the Food Regulatory Department should look into the matter and take prompt preventive measures in this regard. Junk food outlets should either be banned or made inaccessible to children so easily. We can’t just allow the fast food companies to play with the health of children of our nation. People should also abstain themselves from eating too much of junk food.
