''FOR AND AGAINST'' ESSAY

``Advantages and disadvantages of fast food´´

Many people believe that eating fast food is dangerous for our health because it contains higher amounts of salt, fats and calories. Nevertheless, fast food restaurants are usually crowded. So, there are both advantages and disadvantages to this idea.

On the one hand, fast food saves time and money. Fast food restaurants offer us an efficient service with low prices. It’s quick, and an easy way to eat something fast. In addition to this, in some places, you can find menus that are not unhealthy, like salad or fruit, for example, in Burger King.

On the other hand, fast food has a negative and clear effect on our health. There are people who eat in excess this kind of food. In fact, over 25 percent of Americans consume fast food every day. One result of this is that the risk factor of heart diseases and diabetes increases, because of cholesterol. Moreover, fast food puts on weight quickly and it doesn’t help you to get in shape.

Personally, I think that fast food is really bad and we should avoid going to restaurants which sell this type of meals. Healthy food has only benefits and it is always much better.
