When you do not have time to cook your own food, what to do? The answer is obvious , of course. You leave your local food fast food ( respect for the preferences of their children) , leaving the food strip at the mall, or you order take away. It is convenient and you can eat your fill at these joints. What is not so obvious , however, is that the practice is done for your health and that of their children.
Healthy eating habits are essential to achieve a healthy mind and body. Healthy eating habits refer to eating meals regularly, eat balanced meals , and eat only what is necessary . Healthy eating habits do not have to eat burgers and fries for lunch.
Fast Food Culture
Unfortunately, some people think it is not healthy to have burgers and fries for lunch. Advertising spiels have a lot to answer for it. In a world full of fast food and restaurant world , it is natural that companies which serve this food must undermine people's preference for home -cooked meals or be redundant and not to make profit.
Thus, large food companies put millions of dollars in television commercials that claim not in so many words that a meal eaten in a fast food is special while eating at home with his family his mother cooked food is simply than usual.
Such a reversal of values was helped by the fast pace of life, where people do not have more time to devote to preparing homemade meals . People are always driving or commuting to work , attend business meetings, or maybe take one or two jobs . You can not expect someone who has already worked 12 hours straight to come home and prepare a long lunch . It makes more sense to buy takeout or bring the family for a meal.
People are aware that they need to eat healthy foods. However, if you are fooled into thinking that restaurant fare and fast food taste better than home cooking ? Unfortunately, there is also an effort underlying make people think that the food at the restaurant and fast food are all in good health, which is really not much difference when you eat in or out. Everything is the same, but eating out is more convenient.
As people continue to be bombarded with advertisements in the media to defend the value of fast food and restaurants, and as people become more busy trying to keep their jobs , more and more people stop cooking and start take these ads on your heart. People have left home, nutritious meals that need hours of preparation for large portions of calories and fatty foods served in a few minutes.
Sick Nation
The success of the fast food industry in establishing a culture that develops in foods and fast foods consumed outside the health of our people has been placed on the scale . Therefore, the United States is now a nation in crisis. The incidence of heart disease , diabetes and hypertension continues to increase as obesity becomes more prevalent .
I'm not saying that fast food is to be avoided at all costs. What I am saying is that a trip to the fast food should be done rarely, not three times a week, as most people now tend to do. A change should be instituted to reduce the days when there is no doubt about what healthy food is and where to find it . That's all I ask.
