fast food and traditional food
When we talk about food, there are two kinds which can arouse our interest—fast food and traditional food. As we all know, fast food is generally sold by restaurants to be eaten quickly or taken away, while traditional food is elaborately prepared, usually at home and with traditional methods. But they each have their pros and cons.
Fast food, as its name implies, is usually quick to prepare. When *** sandwiches, for example, you take a slice of ham plus two piece of bread and put them together. This presents a great advantage in this fast moving modern society. It saves you a lot of time, so that you can devote more energy to your work and gain a competitive quality. Moreover, fast food is easy to make and you do not have to be a good cook to prepare your lunch or dinner. The ingredients are ready-made, and all you have to do is to combine them together. However, some people frown on fast food, believing that it is less tasty and less nutritious. Some people even call it “junk food”.
Unlike fast food, traditional food is more healthy and nutritious. It can include many kinds of vegetables and meat which provide us proteins mineral substances and necessary vitamins. The balanced nutrition from traditional food can improve our health and build up our body. But, to some extent, it can take us more time to make traditional food. That is the reason why many people give up the “hygeian food” and resort to “junk food”.
Therefore, when you face the decision whether you take fast food or not, you should take your situation into consideration. If you have no time, do not hesitate to choose it. But my suggestion is that you have your traditional in your spare time if you like.
