In today’s fast-moving world, people have less and less time for cooking. It is probably for this reason that fast food has become so popular.

Eating out is a common pleasure for most families. Families are starting to eat less home-cooked food.

The food is convenient, quick, relatively cheap and usually tempting.

Most Russian mums work today full time and the last thing they want to do when they get home is cooking. Supermarkets are here to “help”- pre-packaged and ready-made meals have filled their shelves. As a result, many schoolchildren would rather go hungry than eat fruit or vegetables instead of the more familiar crisps, burgers and chips. Of course, there are many families where kids still eat healthy food but the problem is certainly serious.

We were interested in this problem and decided to prove that tasty food is not always healthy.

We A re -What We Eat!

First of all, we were looking for special literature, interesting facts to explain the reasons for getting people fat and ill, to show how food influences our lifestyle and health. An English primary school asked the pupils to keep a food diary and this is what one nine-year-old boy wrote:

“ At school: sandwich, two chocolate biscuits, glass of orange juice.”

“ Before school: glass of blackcurrant squash, bottle of Coke, packet of crisps, few biscuits.”

“ After school: microwavable chips, pizza, three drinks of Coke.”

Questionnaire

We have decided to interview at our schoolmates on a theme: ”As often you go to McDonald's?” And here that we have learned. The majority of schoolboys go to McDonald's twice a week.

Come to think of it , they really make our life more pleasant, especially outdoors, don't they? Nevertheless , doctors say we shouldn’t often eat fast food, because it is harmful for our health.

Unfortunately, school dinners play an important role in this sad situation. Often school dinners offer overcooked vegetables as the “healthy” option against more appealing pizza, chips and burgers. Let’s stick to facts. Having analyzed the same problem in Australia, we came to conclusion that children can either choose to bring their own lunch or buy their lunch at school. Children from poorer families can have free school dinners but many of them don’t take them for various reasons. Here are some of the common complaints:

“ I never have school dinner because it is the same food day in, day out.”

“ Our dinners are always cool.”

“ I hate my school dinners. The food is so disgusting!”

The second experiment was done in our class. Our classmates were divided into two groups.

Chips were offered for eating for the first group.

Apples – for the second group.

Have you ever enjoyed a hamburger, sitting on a lawn or in McDonald’s? May be you’re against all these hot dogs and cheeseburgers, because it's a junk food. There’s nothing wrong with having a can of Coke every now and then but four cans a day is asking for trouble. And do you know that a can of Coke contains about eight teaspoons of sugar and artificial sweeteners? As a result, many modern kids suffer from such illnesses as diabetes, cancer and tooth decay? And, of course, there are more children who are more and more extremely overweight or even obese.

Doctors say we shouldn’t often eat fast food, because it is harmful for our health.
