Презентація "Fast foof & GM food". (10 клас)

Fast food Fast food is very popular and saves time for busy working people. However, many experts say that it is not completely healthy.

McDonald’s Do you know a person who has never been to McDonald’s? McDonald’s is the leading global food service retailer serving millions of people in more than 100 countries each day. McDonald’s restaurants sell what is called “fast” or “junk” food – hamburgers, chips and so on. Such food is very popular, especially with children and teenagers.

holiday atmosphere,іs it..?

I like the holiday atmosphere of McDonald’s. There I can relax, enjoy the food and celebrate some event with my friends and relatives. Personally, I adore hamburgers, cheeseburgers, apple pies, muffins and fruit cocktails. This food is tasty, cheap and ubiquitous. What is more, going to McDonald’s saves much time and effort. Besides, I don’t have to go to a supermarket, prepare meals and wash the dishes when I eat out.

But experts say that fast food makes people overweight and even obese and elevates the risk of diabetes and cancer. If your food includes hamburgers, chips, hot dogs, pizzas and fizzy drinks like Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and others, you are facing a serious problem threatening your health. Such food is full of chemical additives. For example, a can of Coke contains about eight teaspoons of sugar and artificial sweeteners. Moreover, there is a risk of food poisoning.

Serious problems threatening your health

Genetically modified (GM) food Nowadays people are getting more and more concerned about the food they eat as it is closely connected with the way they look and feel. That is why there are so many arguments about the safety of genetically modified food.

Opinion Some people say that genetically modified (GM) food is dangerous to their health. Others believe that it is absolutely harmless and has a number of advantages.

Genetically modified crops have been developed by changing the plant’s genetic structure in order to help the plant resist against different diseases or produce larger crops.

Harm or harmless..? Personally, I try not to buy GM food as there is no scientific conclusion so far to prove its safety for human consumption. We don’t know what unforeseen consequences there might be. I prefer not to risk my health because scientists are not sure if GM food is absolutely harmless or not.

Negative influence of GM However, a lot of people are not worried about the negative influence of GM food on their health. Besides, producers of this food say that it has a number of advantages in terms of price, durability and nutritional value. They also say there is no risk to human health, although possible side effects connected with the use of GM products have not been studied.

Can we trust producers of GM food? I don’t think so. Unfortunately, the law does not prohibit the use of GM products. I believe that it’s up to you to decide whether to buy GM food or not. Anyway, producers of this food must mark their products if they contain GM ingredients.

Health To sum it up, we should think more about our health. We should try to avoid fast food and eat more fruit and vegetables. Those people who don’t care about what they eat may face serious problems. So let’s remember about our health and make the right choice.
