Dear Sir, 

Sub: Health hazards caused by junk food Through the column of your esteemed daily, I want to highlight the health hazards being caused by eating the so called ‘fast or junk food’.

The globalization is not confined to the economy only. Even our food habits have been globalised. The craze for fast foods like burgers, pizzas and pasta has increased in recent years. The youth have developed special liking for them. McDonalds, KFCs, Pizza Huts are leading multinationals who promote junk foods.

The junk food, no doubt, tingles our tastebuds. But it has little or no nutritional value. The general public, particularly, the youth must know the health hazards caused by the regular . eating of junk food. It causes obesity. Habitual eaters suffer from many other diseases of liver, digestion and kidneys. Let us remember that fresh food cooked in our kitchen with a liberal use of vegetables and fruits is really tasty as well as nutritious. The junk food is good only for ‘junkies’.

Thanking you 

Yours faithfully

N. Mani
