Junk Food vs Healthy Food

By: Sultan AlShehhi


Both fast food and healthy food are delicious. There is a large variety of food, for example you can imagine a pizza or salad fruits both are delicious. While fast food and healthy food can both be appealing, the best way to eat is by preparing our own food. Fast and healthy food differ in their convenience and effect on health. Fast food is more favorable than healthy food. Many people in the United States work for long hours and for that reason they don’t have to time to find ingredients and prepare good food. So fast becomes a good alternative because it's faster to make and quicker to purchase than healthy food. Healthy food is nutrient rich, but fast food tends to be nutrient poor although it is high in calorie. It is important to know that fast food fulfills our daily calorie need, but it exceeds with ingredients that are harmful to our health. For example, fast food is high in fat and trans fat and it also has chemicals, artificial colors and flavors. Fast food affects our health and causes dangerous diseases like diabetes, blood pressure. On the other hand, healthy food protects our bodies from diseases because it contains vitamins, and proteins. To conclude fast food is bad for you while healthy food is good for you, so eat healthy and choose what's best!
