The past 50 years have seen a dramatic increase in the availability of fast food. Some people believe that this kind of food has a positive role to play in the world because of its convenience and its low cost; However, I intent to argue that this kind of food is detrimental both to the individuals that consume it and society at large.

First of all, it is an undeniable that fast food is one of primary reasons for health problems. According to many medical reports, high fat and high salt responsibility for many serious diseases such high blood pressure, heart disease and some types of chronic diseases. To make matter worse, manufactures always use a variety of impressive advertisements to describe how delicious and reasonable they are. In this case, most consumers are easily attracted by these advertisements. I certainly agree that fast food is affordable and convenient. In other words, while fast food is beneficial in the short-term, its long-term effects are generally negative.

In addition to this, there are more and more children to choose fast food to be formal meal; nevertheless, their health has been harmed and caused weight over the formal standard without sensing. The main reason is that in the advertisement having a fast food always offers you a wonderful feeling. For instance, the advertisement of McDonald always provides the most delicious food and comfortable environment for consumer. Moreover, to have a birthday party in McDonald is an amazing experience. Most children could be easily attracted by these advertisements which are usually full of happiness and laughing. In this case, we can imagine why fast food is so popular among children.

To sum up, I once again reaffirm my position that everything has its advantages and disadvantages and fast food is not an exception. Fast food may have benefited people in many ways but it has caused more serious issues for people.
