Entry #9. The Impacts of Junk Food on Health

Image
  In my opinion, the main reason why junk food is so bad for health is because it contains high levels of unhealthy fats, sugars and artificial additives. If eaten in large amounts, junk food can lead to many health problems such as being overweight, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. One of its main problems is that junk food is very rich in calories, which can quickly result in weight gain if consumed in too big quantities. Furthermore, the fats in many junk foods are saturated and trans fats, which can increase bad cholesterol and the risk of heart disease.

Once the chickens are fully grown, they are processed for meat by being taken to a processing plant. The chickens are slaughtered, cleaned, packaged, and then sent to the store for people to buy and eat. After watching it, I feel hesitant about eating the meat they produce because they use chemicals to fight bacteria, which can potentially damage cells in the human body and cause cancer. However, people still buy the meat at the store because it is affordable.
