Is fast food popular in my country? Today I have been asked if fast food is so popular in my country as it seems to be in USA and whether it could cause health problems or any kinds of bad consequences. My answer was the one that follows: From my point of view, junk food is still a problem in USA, additionally, it is becoming a point which needs to be treated urgently here in Spain. Many people, particularly, the younger unnecesarily attend to mass-produced food restaurants at least two times a week. This is something that increases if we take a look at families who, instead of cooking healthy and homemade products, they pick up their children at school and take them to these kind of places as some reward for studying. In fact, this habit is causing many problems of obesity and diabetes which most frequently started to appear in teenagers and adolescents. Another interesing issue related to this matter is the inclusion of the so-called palm oil in almost every piece of food, which is an outright aggressive sustance. Therefore, we have to become aware of the bad consequences of these products in our digestive system so as to decrease the drawbacks they are displaying in our society.
