In many countries traditional food is being replaced by international fast food. This has negative effects on both families and societies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案
Many people today frequent fast-food restaurants, because of the fast pace of life and irregular working hours. Fast food has posed a threat to traditional cuisine in many cultures, and people should not overlook the problems that may arise from this change.
The strong appetite for fast food has become a health issue in countries like America, where the number of overweight people has increased dramatically. This kind of food is not only high in fat, sugar. salt and calories but also served in large portions. This is why it is known as junk food and linked to obesity epidemic. Those who suffer from obesity are more likely to contract heart diseases than normal-weight people. This means that governments have to pour more money in the medical system, which may have an adverse effect on the economic development.
Another problem is that it can threaten the diversity of the world’s cuisine. Traditional means of food preparation are known for the diversity of ingredients, cooking styles and flavours, and many traditional dishes show the evolution of cuisine in different regions. If fast food chains which provide American or European food, including hamburgers, fried chicken and pizzas, dominate the market, people will find that their diet will become increasingly monotonous and that some traditional recipes may vanish.
The reliance on pre-prepared food also has an adverse effect on family relationships, as people do not eat family meals as frequently as before. As a general rule, family meals provide family members with an opportunity to communicate with each other and improve mutual understanding. People who always eat outside may not be able to keep up to date with family issues and respond to emotional needs of other family members. They no longer have a sense of closeness at home, and enjoy the company of their family.
I thus agree that the popularity of fast food is a menace. It not only poses a threat to people’s health but also to their cuisine culture and social relationships.
