People all around the world eat too much bad food. In English such things as pizza, hamburgers and chips are called ‘junk food’. It is sometimes difficult to understand, why we eat so much of such food. First of all, this kind of food is popular because we may eat it everywhere and it takes little time to get it. Nowadays many people have no time to cook themselves or even to go to some normal restaurant. That is why they choose junk food. Moreover, many people are simply too lazy to prepare healthy food. There is also another group of people- those who cannot cook and have no time or money for restaurants. The last group of those who like unhealthy junk food simply like it.

Nowadays, the places, where you can buy junk food exist everywhere. We all know that there are McDonald’s, Burger Kings, KFC and other similar places all around the world. You can buy hamburgers and pizza in every town I know. Restaurants serving fast food became extremely popular, they are widely advertised and people go there to eat something relatively cheap and quick. These restaurants should always be clean and the staff there is nicely dressed and they always smile to you and are very kind. They are designed so as to attract as many clients as possible.

There are people, who claim that everyone ought to eat, what he/she enjoys most. According to this opinion, our bodies know what is good for them and if we want hamburgers, it means that we need them. In my mind, it very dangerous to eat much junk food. We can never be sure, what they are made of. People say that in very bad and not fresh meat is used to make them. Also the oil used to fry chips is used hundreds of times. That is why they may be harmful to your health.

Junk food is generally very fat. It is extremely high in calories and makes its consumers fatter and fatter. It influences the condition of liver and heart badly. It is a basis of many serious diseases.

It is important to eat more healthy food. All people should eat fresh fruit and vegetables every day. They provide many vitamins, minerals, microelements and fiber. We cannot eat cookies, ice-creams or chips often. They are very unhealthy.

There were many researches made on the influence of food on health. They show that those, who eat healthy food, feel and work much better. They deal with stress easily and are much more cheerful. They look happier. That is why in my opinion, people should carefully wonder, what they eat. If they eat well, they will look and feel well.
