There are more fast-food outlets and though this may pose good news for consumers, with their fast, convenient and cheap offers, fast-food is a detriment to health.
I agree with nutritionists that it can cause obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Look at the fried items on the menu like french fries, fried chicken and fried fish. Deep-fried food usually contains lots of oil, cholesterol and salt. Incidentally, fatty food causes phlegm too. The desserts and drinks contain plenty of sugar. Their recommendation of twice a week is actually too liberal, I feel. Once a week should be the norm. I cannot fathom how some can go there three to four times a week and even claim that the health risks are overstated!
Others feel they are still young and so the effects will not be so bad on them. Such naivety! People as young as in their teens and even babies have died from cancer. What sort of world do these people live in? It may be comfort food to some others but it is not the only type of comfort food. Chicken soup, porridge and pasta are comfort food too.
