Speech - Bad things about fast food

         

       Good Morning to all my respected teachers,dear friends and all the parents present here today. We all are aware and have heard that our parents have laid so much importance on the kind of food we eat. They may be people fond of eating sweet fruits always chucking the not so tasty vegetables. Imagine they did not even cook them, but they still filled their stomachs with raw fruits, vegetable and leaves & roots. May be that was the reason they were never fat. Wondering how I can say that, all the cave drawings are the evidence! Not a single human figure they have drawn has a fat overgrown belly!
       My point is that they all worked really hard; even for fulfilling their basic requirements.. Each one had to hunt for his or her own food. A lot of exercise and not a single energy drink! What a life it must have been, full of challenges. These days all our adventures are limited to adventure sports and theme parks.
     While they worked up for all the calories they took, we do just the opposite. We eat a lot, and a lot out of it is junk that has refined, polished, fabricated, and artificially flavoured preservative added packaged food most of the time. That is what we need to learn from them, – eating salads and fruit platters daily.The food pyramid that we have seen and some of us may have been taught in school, also keeps carbohydrates and fats on the top of the pyramid.. These are the things our mother nature that provides us.
      Taking the food pyramid as our guide, where do puris, pizzas, burgers, sweets, cakes, ice-creams and chocolates fall? Not even on the top, that is they are not a part of the food pyramid. That is why we put such food in an entirely different category. We call them JUNK FOOD! All such type of food that is laden with sugar, oil, butter and excessive salt damage our system on the whole. Though the effects may not be immediate, but they make our lives tough. . Eat to live or live to eat! Decision is yours.


Thank you
