Subject: Health Hazards Caused By Junk Food

Dear Sir:

I am writing to your good self to express my deep concern over the problem of health hazards caused by 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.

There is nothing good that can be said about junk food! 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.    

Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to the Health Ministry to 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. I also appeal to people to abstain themselves from eating too much of junk food. I am hopeful you will give my ideas enough space in your newspaper. Thanking you.

Yours truly,

Surbhi Joshi
