Band 4.5

Prompt: In many countries, fast food is becoming cheaper and more widely available. Do the disadvantages of this outweigh the advantages?

Fast food is very popular today in all the world. You can find it everywhere and the price is not expensive. In this essay i want to talk about advantage and disadvantage of this situation.

The good thing about fast food is it is fast and cheap. When people busy and dont have time to cook, they can just buy burger or pizza quickly. Also it is delicious and many young people love the taste. For poor family the cheap price help them to eat something.

But there is many bad thing too. Fast food have a lot of fat and sugar and salt. If you eat too much you become fat and get sick like diabetes or heart problem. Also it is not healthy for children but they eat it everyday because of advertisement on tv. Another problem is people stop cooking traditional food at home.

For my conclusion, i think the disadvantage is more than advantage because health is most important thing. Government should make people know about this danger and maybe put more tax on the junk food. People must eat more vegetable and fruit for healthy life.
