Shall We Go to McDonalds?
McDonalds food has always been popular, especially with young people and children. They have always liked their Big Mac and drinks. You can find fast food restaurants in all countries of the world, almost in all big cities. People come in and quickly have their lunches and dinners. They say they like McDonalds restaurants because it doesn’t take them long to have a meal, the food is fairly tasty and you don’t pay much money for it. But is this food really healthy? Can we say that it does more good than harm to people who eat it?
We know quite well that taking drugs, smoking cigarettes and drinking a lot of alchohol are very dangerous. But eating junk food can be no less dangerous. That’s why nowadays scientists talk a lot about eating problems.
Some of them say that many people have become obese because they are fond of junk food — hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chips and so on. And these are the things we usually buy and eat in fast food restaurants. There is not enough fruit and vegetables on the menu and there is much sugar in pies and cakes that you can buy there. This food is low in vitamins. Eating such food regularly is risky and can be really dangerous.
