Junk food, yes or no?

By Mary Lau

Introduction

Our parents and teachers always teach us not to eat too much junk food. Some parents even ban junk food from home. Is junk food really harmful? What should we eat for snacks?

Is junk food bad?

Junk food such as French fries, potato chips, sweets and chocolate is bad for us. Eating too much junk food may harm different systems in our body. We will gain weight if we eat too much sugary food. Too much salty food is also bad for our urinary system. We might have kidney stones when we grow up! But most of the people still eat it because they don’t have time for a full healthy meal. Some people eat it simply because it tastes good. People may also eat it because they want to share their snacks with their friends or they feel too bored. Eating a little junk food helps us relaxed. There is no harm when we only eat a little!

Other snacks

Instead of eating junk food, we should eat more fruit for snacking. Fruit such as strawberries, grapes and oranges contain a lot of vitamins and minerals. These nutrients help us build a stronger army in our body so we won’t get sick easily. They are very important! However, we should not overeat because there is a lot of sugar in fruit like durian and grapes. Too much sugar in our diet can cause dental caries and other unwanted disease.

What can we do?

The government and our school should teach children (us!) how to pick our snacks. There was a joyful fruit month and our school gave out different kinds of fruit twice a week. I brought them home and shared with my family. We were all very happy!

A healthy diet

A balanced diet should include different kinds of food. We shall eat some junk food but never too much. We should not overeat fruit too. Remember, too much of anything is always bad!
