“Eating habit now and in the past” “Eating habit now and in the past” Italy is known for its Mediterranean food and for the huge variety of ways it can be cooked. However I think in my country people eat worse then they did 50 years ago. Globalization has been a good invention but it brought several disadvantages too. Nowadays hardly anyone drinks water because almost everyone drink Cola or other unhealthy drinks full of sugar. Too much sugar causes diabetes and doctors are worried about the increasing of this kind of disease all over the world. Besides with the urbanization people have a demanding life, they pass lots of hours at work so for lunch usually they eat a sandwich or a slice of pizza with a Cola. Children love chips and crisp and in my opinion their parents permit them to eat junk food too often. This is one of the main cause of obesity. Moreover both adults and children don’t practice physical exercise and when they are free, they prefer to stay at home on the sofa and watching tv eating sweets. Another problem in my country is the processed food; now you can find it everywhere. One reason that people don’t eat vegetables and take less exercise is because of lifestyle changes, but this is not a good reason to not take care about our health. I love pizza, ice-cream and “carbonara spaghetti” too, so I don’t say we have to eliminate them but just to pay attention on quantity of this kind of food we eat every day and, of course, go out for a walk at least twice a week.
