Wasting Family Time

Fast food can be very harmful to the human body. There is nothing good about it. It cause many health problems that are deadly. About 30% of our population is overweight because of fast food. That is about 2 billion people. Not only died it cause obesity, but also increases risk for diabetes. When you are eating fast food multiple times a week, it causes weight gain and unneeded calories. Many fast food places also add extra sugars to make it addicting. Fast food places has also been a cause for many diseases. You can easily buy the ingredients and make it at home for a lower price and better nutrition.

Another thing to think about is the cost.Yes it is less expensive that fancy restaurants, but it is still more expensive than a nice home cooked meal. You can never go wrong with a home cooked meal! If you have a 5 people family and you go out to eat about 2 times a week, that would be $100 every week and it eventually multiples. In 1 year, that would be about 5,200 because it is about $10 per person. That is the price of a summer vacation! Yes we are all guilty of loving fast food restaurants, but we should be responsible about how much we are consuming. It is way less expensive to have a home cooked meal and once in a while go out to eat. Some obese people said they spend all their money on food. If you think about it, we could be saying at least $4,000 by eating out less. This could help charities or other organisations.

By eating out, we are wasting valuable family time. When people go out to eat studies have shown that most families are on their phones the whole time. Studies also that when eating a family dinner at home, kids are less likely to be on their phone. When families go out to eat constantly, we are slowly breaking up family relationships. Especially when parents are at work all day, they probably want a nice family dinner. During a family dinner, we can laugh and share our day, during a restaurant you might not want to share in front of everyone especially if you had a bad day. But it doesn't hurt a thing if you go out to eat every once in a while.

Overall you should be careful about what your consuming, how much the cost is, and if it really worth wasting family time. Some families way of have family time is going to a restaurant so this doesn't always apply to everyone. I think we should all be aware of the disease and cost fast food can cost
