In many countries traditional food is being replaced by international fast food. This has negative effects on both families and societies. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Eating fast food has become a commonplace for the general public in this day and age. People are enjoying the fast service and delicious food products, such as KFC and pizza-hut. However, I am of the opinion that this phenomenon has negative impact on domestic lives as well as communities.

Firstly, the proliferation of fast food satisfies the needs of working families who are characterized by irregular working hours, allowing them to eat at anytime and anywhere. Despite the convenience of international franchised food industry, the consumption of this type of food would undermine the family bond. People are less likely to spend on time family meal. Since cooking at home allows family members to gather frequently and exchange their opinions on the table, and most likely, to resolve the conflicts among the different family members. In the contrast, if people choose not to eat at home habitually, this would probably weaken their emotional ties between each other.

Secondly, in spite of the economic benefits that stems from fast food chain, such as the increasing demand for meat products, it has inevitably posed a threat to the society. For one, the consumption of fast food is believed to have a strong correlation with healthy issue. For example, compared to traditional cooking method which emphasize a balanced diet, fast food such as fried chicken are regarded as one of the key contributing factors to obesity and overweight. For another, the cultural erosion can be partially attributed to fast food. Since young people are less likely to be exposed to authentic family meal. As a result, traditional cooking skills and culture may be on the brink of extinction with the passage of the time.

In conclusion, fast food does not only pose threats to family relationship, but also to people’s health and cultural aspects, although it has changed our living patterns and stimulated the local economy.

It is true that, fast food is popular nowdays among people and it also has taken place of traditional food. I personally introspect that it is a negative impact on families as well as societies.

To start with, fast food is not healthy. However, mostly people prefer to eat fast food than traditional food. Many people also have addicted to this. It has more causes like it effects directly on people health, heart, liver e.t.c. it is increased obesity, diabetes because in fast food contains lots of sugar and people have to face some types of health issues. Furthermore, they do not know the value of traditional food because it has lots of nutrients in this food. For example, many young children have addicted of fast food nowadays that is why this generation is not fit.

Looking at the other view, parents do not have more time to make meals for their children because job is done nowdays by many parents. In addition, they make fast food for children beacuse it is cheaper than traditional food, it is take less time to make, easily available for any store, it has a good taste. Moreover, fast food also helps to increase the economy rate beacuse fast food companies give work to other small labourers or part-time students. For instance, those students who live far away from their house for studying or doing job so they mostly prefer fast food rather than traditional food.

On a concluding note, undoubtedly, fast food is good for those who do not have time to make meals yet. We must understand that we should only eat nutritional food beacuse it is good for people health.
