CHAPTER : CONC,USION


17/18

A. Summar % (i!&i!*s

So, in conclusion, althou%h fast food tastes %ood and eatin% it once

in a &hile is fine, eatin% fast food too frequently may result in health

problems such as obesity and diabetes. #he problems caused by fast food

are mainly in the hi%h su%ar, salt and fat content in it. #he amounts of

su%ar, salt and fat are too much for the body to handle, and so cause

problems.

Fast food is part to blame for the increasin% rate of obesity in the

&orld. Fast food dominates in the food industry allo&in% our society to

think it is okay to eat such unhealthy food. It became popular in household

due to its lo& preparation time required and lo& cost. Gue to the

requirement of its preservation fast food contains foods that are hi%h in

%luten, sodium, su%ars, and fats. It contains only lo& nutritional value, due

to the need of preservation. It usually lacks in vitamins and minerals, due

to the chemicals that are applied to them. Consumin% too much of fast

food can lead to obesity and cause other diseases &hich are dama%in% to

one$s health.

'verall, the safety of the meat products can be determined &ith the

facilities &here they are bein% produced. e can determine it if they have

a %ood equipment in cleanin% and sanitation. Bmployees must be properly

trained, and must follo& the standard operatin% procedure that is desi%ned

by the :ACC@.

B. Recmme!&ati!sAfter a dili%ent research, the proponent recommends that>. Gon7t eat fast food. :o&ever, this may cause a cravin% or &ish to eat

fast food. #hat could lead to bin%e eatin% &hen the person cannot stop
