8. Reading: You are what you eat

  

 

You are what you eat. But can we eat properly? We find different cafés and restaurants in the each corner of the streets. So, fast food is very popular not only with adult people but in most of the cases with children. But how does this food influence the health?

 

Why do people prefer fast food? Firstly, it is a good chance to have a snack when you do not have enough time. This food is cooked very fast and you don`t need to wait for a long time being hungry. Secondly, fast food is not expensive and you can buy it almost everywhere. If you want to eat you don`t have to pay a lot of money for it. Thirdly, fast food is tasty and nourishing.

 

But some people don`t eat fast food. They think that it is very unhealthy and it is harmful for their health. This food consists of cholesterol, and because of it, people, who like fast food and eat it very often, suffer from obesity and they are more likely to have a heart disease, gastric disease and some other problems.

 

We should understand that food is an important part of our life. We should choose healthy food which is not harmful for us. I am against fast food but sometimes I allow myself to have a snack when I am terribly hungry and I do not have enough time to eat properly. Food must be useful but fast food can destroy our health. To conclude we all know that "health is the greatest wealth".
