INTRODUCTIONIt is generally accepted that fast food is an inexpensive and quick way to have a snack for those cases when it is not possible to "eat normally", and that such food has practically nothing to do with the concept of "delicious and healthy food". 

The object and subject of research is fast food and its impact on the human body. The aim of the research is to determine the main pros and cons of fast food. Task - analyze the literature and Internet sources, find the advantages and disadvantages of fast food. The main research method is the theoretical analysis of the literature. The relevance of the topic chosen by us for research work is relevant, because today public catering has turned into an industry based on advanced industrial technologies. 

ADVANTAGESThere are several benefits of fast food that you should consider if you need a quick meal.  1. Fast food gives you a chance to eat something instead of skipping meals, which can make you feel tired, which can mean you're missing out on some essential nutrients. 

  2. Eating fast food helps you manage your schedule more effectively. The average family in the United States spends about two hours together. This means that there may be very little time for cooking at home.

3. You can order a full meal with reasonable choices for less than $10 each. The problem with ordering fast food is that many people tend to go for the cheapest or easiest option due to the demands of their schedules. 

DISADVANTAGESThere is also a list of disadvantages of fast food.1. Fast food can negatively affect the cardiovascular and digestive systems. Most fast foods, including the drinks you order with your main meal, are usually high in carbohydrates and very low in fiber. When the digestive system breaks down these foods, the carbohydrates are released into the bloodstream as glucose. 

2. Eating fast food can cause swelling and bloating. When you choose to eat fast food, the combination of salt, sugar and fat can lead to water retention problems known as bloat. The downside to this is that some people experience bloating or swelling after eating.   

3. Regular consumption of fast food can lead to obesity problems. If you eat too many calories from fast food, the overall result is weight gain. Without moderation, this deficiency can quickly lead to obesity. People who are overweight are at increased risk of breathing problems, including shortness of breath and asthma. 

CONCLUSION To sum up, it is worth saying that fast food must be excluded from the daily diet. However, such dishes can sometimes be eaten as an exception. The pros and cons of fast food should first consider the health effects rather than other issues, as this food can become dangerous over time.
