Fast Food

            Today, you can find fast food restaurant in almost every big city. In some place, you stand in a line and get a hamburger or a hot dog in a paper bag. In other you can pick a tray of fish, chicken, pizza or Mexican and Chinese food, and in some fast food places you can even drive your car up to a window and place your order. A few minutes later a worker passes you your food through the window and you can drive away and eat in your car.

            In New York, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore and thousands of other cities around the world, new fast food restaurant open every day. But why do people prefer fast food restaurant to more comfortable restaurant where they can sit quietly at a table and watch the world go by?

            Two things make fast food restaurants popular. Speed and price. People’s time is valuable. They may have only thirty minutes for lunch. They don’t want to waste a lot of time eating or preparing food. The service is fast, so they can order what they want, eat it, and be finished in less than fifteen minutes. And prices are inexpensive. Because of the large number of meals sold every day in fast food restaurants, costs are kept low. There are over 35 billion (35.000.000.000) hamburgers sold every year in the United States alone! Another thing people like is that they can be sure what the food will taste like in fast food restaurant. The major international fast food companies like McDonald’s and A & W make sure that hamburger sold at the store in Boston will taste exactly the same as one sold  in New York and not very different from one bought in Bangkok of Jakarta.

            Critics of fast foods say  that they are “junk foods” – food which has no nutritional value. They say fast foods, such as hamburgers, contain too much salt, carbohydrate, and fat. But one thing is sure, people everywhere like fast food and they find it a convenient and economical way to eat.

Vegetarians

There are many reasons why people become vegetarians, including personal health, the environment, and the economy.

            A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians also consume eggs and dairy products, but they avoid meat products, such as beef, chicken stocks, and gelatin.

            According to research, vegetarians have lower risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. This may happen due to a healthy vegetarian diet, which has low fat but high fibre. However, a vegetarian diet can be high in fat if it includes excessive amounts of fatty snacks, fried food, whole dairy products, and eggs. At the same time, a vegetarian diet can be simple and easy to prepare. Therefore, a vegetarian diet must be well-planned to prevent and treat certain diseases.
