“Fast food should be forbidden for young people under the age of 18”

From my point of view I think it would be good to forbid fast food to people under 18. It’s true it would hurt too much and it would be good if not remove but the parents would have to be aware that their children do not buy fast food very often, to not harm themselves.

Another important point in fast food is that many people buy it because they feel like treating themselves once a week and eat other foods or vary the routine of what they eat. The important thing for people who are under 18 years is not over eating that food such as: McDonalds, campero, pizza etc. These are foods high in fat and cause excessive damage to the body of the people and elevate cholesterol and other diseases. However I think that with a good control on how often and what time you eat this meals, I think there is not any problem to consume them.

Also it would be wise to forbid people under 18 to eat fast food because it is the moment where they like to eat that burger or whenever the weekend or a specific day. When people are older, they do not like consuming these products because they prefer a home-cooked meal instead. This is the time when teens can eat fast food because their bodies are young and do not produce much harm as parents or older people who can no longer eat such foods.

In conclusion, fast food is not bad as long as they learn to eat and be very cautious of the amount consumed or how often they eat fast food. Ideally in order not to damage the body, it is advisable to eat it only once a week or every two weeks so the body is not affected and it would not hurt to persons under 18 years consume fast food, but parents also need to greatly influence the children and watch out that the fast food they eat is very little and it is important to also eat food that is homemade, like vegetables and fruits and so one day be able to eat fast food.
