Fast Food a Threat to Health

Food is a basic necessity of mankind. Thus it is important to eat a healthy and balanced diet to lead a healthy lifestyle. However, of late, multinational fast-food chains have rapidly taken over most shopping malls and local markets. In a bid to cash in on the growing trend of Indians eating out, fast food chains such as McDonald’s India, Dominos Pizza, Pizza Hut, KFC and Yo! China are charting out plans to enter new Tier II and III markets, apart from penetrating deeper into existing markets. Call it a junk or fast food chains which have spread like an epidemic is creating obesity and related problems. There are only a handful of people who have the correct BMI (body mass index). Thus we see people spending loads of money treating their physical disorders. Indeed, the Fast food chains have become flavour of the season along with which unhealthy lifestyle is also emerging rapidly.
