Are You Fond of Fast Food Outlets?

          In every corner of any village nowadays, restaurants are very popular as a place to eat. However certain issues have been brought by doctors claiming that going to fast-food shops is an unhealthy hobby. Perhaps today's population have increased to become more dependent on fast foods. There are several reasons why some people cannot resist from it and there are solutions as well.

          Furthermore, the food industry has become competitive where food is available at cheaper prices. One of the classic examples is Mc Donalds that produces plenty of choices which are unacceptable to people's health. But somehow, it is continually expanding without any hesitation since it receives good profit from the market. 

          Another factor is the sedentary life that people choose. They tend to loathe from cooking food for themselves and prefer to buy outside. Once they are home, watching tv, playing digital games and other inactive activities become their priorities; thus, they tend to forget to prepare healthy foods. Others might be further interested needing to rest after the long day work and avoid doing household chores especially food preparation.

          These underlying issues will be prevented if any government imposes an extra tax on foods available on fast food joints. Most probably, this will result to an increase in the price and people will tend not to buy anymore these foods regularly hence be forced to make food on their own. 

         Overall, fast foods do not achieve positive outcome for everyone's health and I do agree what those doctors have studied since the market today for fast foods are growing tremendously. And it takes one's determination to change his/her mindset so as to avoid such unproductive foods.
