Fast Food and Mobile Phones: Benefits and Drawbacks
Fast Food
Fast food.
Nowadays there are a lot of different cuisines, and it is no secret that everyone can order it sitting at home. I would like to discuss the beloved food of the young generation – fast food. So let me start with the good characteristics of this food and further we will see it from all sides. First, it is delicious and, of course, fast – you need not waste time cooking. Because of this, a lot of people think that it is a perfect way to give up cooking, but we must not forget that fast food can also harm our health, due to its high food concentrate which has a lot of harmful additions. As for me, I sometimes eat fast food, but I try to give up eating such products as Coca-Cola, crisps, and hamburgers. I would not deny that I will never eat fast-food, because I am a student and I lead an active life and unfortunately sometimes I just have to eat it, because it helps me not to waste a lot of time and it is not so expensive. Of course, I think about the bad sides of fast-food, but what can I do if the forbidden things are delicious.
There is no such thing as a “bad” food. All foods can fit into a healthy meal plan. It’s true that fast food is usually high in fat, calories, cholesterol, and sodium, but eating fast food every once in a while is not going to cause you problems. If you eat too much fast food over a long period of time, though, it can lead to health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.
To sum up all things which were given above, I can only add that all people should make their own decisions and choose which of two ways they prefer the best: to eat fast-food or not.
Remember: Try to balance fast food with other nutritious foods throughout the day and make healthier choices whenever possible. There are many healthy food choices that are easily available, tasty, and don’t cost very much that can be eaten on the go.
Mobile Phones
Mobile phones.
Nowadays the mobile phone forms an important part of our everyday lives. In fact, it has virtually become a necessity for people everywhere. Indeed, if we go back twenty years or so, it used to be very difficult to reach somebody by means of the traditional phone when you needed to. This was because it was not portable so you could only contact friends or colleagues when they were at home or in the office. Since the arrival of mobile phones, this problem has disappeared altogether.
The main benefit of mobile phones is that they enable us to make contact much faster and more efficiently. Mobile phones have made it very simple to get in touch with people even when they are in very remote parts of the world. For example, in the past when I called my friend in Afghanistan most of the time he was not in the city or he was in places where he had no access to a telephone. By using my mobile phone, I now can reach him at any time in any location. However, there are some drawbacks connected with mobile phones. They have been linked to health problems such as tiredness, headaches, and loss of concentration. A further disadvantage is the lack of privacy. When we use a mobile phone in a public place someone may be listening to us. Finally, mobile phones can be costly both to buy and maintain.
On balance, however, I feel that the advantages of owning a mobile phone outweigh the disadvantages. It is a necessity for modern-day living because it makes our lives easier and more confident.
