Junk Food and ‘Real Food’
A lot of people around the world are getting fat because
they eat too much “junk food”. Junk food is food that
has a lot of calories, but not many nutrients. Nutrients
are things that your body needs, such as vitamins,
minerals, and fiber.
Most “fast food”, such as KFC and stuff sold in
packages, is junk food. It comes from factories, where
scientists add refined sugar, salt, and vegetable oil to
make it taste good. They do this because they want to
make money. They do not care about your health: that
is your job.
Junk food does taste good, too. That’s why people drink
huge bags of “iced tea” and Coke, and eat a big bag of
potato chips, and still feel hungry. Their brains keep
telling them to eat because it knows the body does not
have all the nutrients it needs. Humans evolved to eat
three main kinds of food: meat, vegetables, and fruit.
These are “real foods”. Things like refined sugar, flour,
and vegetable oil are not part of a human’s natural diet.
People eat junk food all over the world. It doesn't matter
where you are - in Hungary or Chile, in the USA or
Thailand. In America, which has the most obese people,
it is hard for poor people to find ‘real food’. Fresh
vegetables and meat are only sold in supermarkets, and
they are more expensive than junk foods. Here, we are
lucky: real food is still available. But so is junk food.
Your body is the most valuable thing you will ever have
in your life, so you should treat your body like a temple
– not a garbage bin. Don’t eat junk food.
