Nowadays huge amount of people are suffering from obesity.There are age restrictions on cigarettes and alcohol because they destroy our health and cause addiction, but fast food does the same thing. and this addiction starts from a young age.
On the one hand we should set age restrictions because not only adults face this problem, but also kids and when they are not controlled by their parents or siblings or anyone else they make situation even worse. Also, some adults are working on this problem, but some of them just dont care at all. Eating too much can lead to serious health problems like heart diseases or even cancer.
Of course we can try doing sports. You can do it in the gym or at home but most people with obesity are struggling to get up from the bed so sport would be super difficult for them.
It's not only about obesity, for example junk food high in sodium (salt) can lead to increased headaches and migraine and of course affect your heart cause high blood preasure and back pain, also it increases risk of depression and high amount of carbs triggers outbreaks of acne. Eating fast food may cause skin issues such as acne. "No, it isn't the chocolate or fried components," says Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, CDN, founder of Real Nutrition NYC "It's the simple sugars, white flour, and empty carbs like French fries that can be blamed."The carbs and sugar in fast foods can lead to dental cavities
Fizzy drinks contain big amount of sugar (12-ounce can of soda contains over 8 teaspoons of sugar) and according to American Heart Association daily norm of sugar is 6 teaspoons
On the other hand,let’s agree that different parties aren’t that fun without fizzy drinks and pizza. So I can say that fast food isn’t that bad as long as it’s not an everyday thing.
I guess that minimum age to purchase fast food should be 16 y.o. because in this age people already understand consiquances of fast food addiction so I find it a right way to reduce amount of people with obesity and save their health.
