HI! I'm Elizabeth
Welll.. everyone got stressed out because of the test.. hahhahaaa...
So, I just want to write something for today's blog... =p
For 'JUNK FOOD' lover, today's blog is about junk food. We all know it's not healthy right? But me myself also like junk food so much!! ;p
Junk food is a term describing food that is perceived to be unhealthy or having poor nutritional value, according to Food Standards Agency.
Junk food typically contains high levels of fat, salt, or sugar and numerous food additives such as monosodium glutamate and tartrazine. It is also lacking in proteins, vitamins and fiber. It is popular with suppliers because it is relatively cheap to manufacture, has a long shelf life and may not require refrigeration. It is popular with consumers because it is easy to purchase, requires little or no preparation, is convenient to consume and has lots of flavor. Consumption of junk food is associated with obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and dental cavities.
We now know the consequence for us, consuming junk food. It is really dangerous, but people in the whole world still like it including me.. especially when you stress out of school, or when you're studying for your test, usually you just order junk food from the telephone and eat it for your dinner, right? Like me and my friends.. hahhaaa...
For example, fast food such as hamburgers and french fries supplied by the companies that you know already are often perceived as junk food, whereas the same meals supplied by more up-market outlets like pizzas and something like that are often having the same or worse nutritional content. Other foods such as rice, roast potatoes and bread are not considered junk food even with having limited nutritional content. Similarly, breakfast cereals are often regarded as healthy but may have high levels of sugar, salt and fat.
As human, we will surely seek for pleasure but, seeking pleasure and getting it, sometimes it is not right. For example like junk food, we know that it's not healthy, but we keep consuming it.
Taken from the BBC news:
