An unhealthy diet

An unhealthy diet

World Health Organization (WHO) recently published a forecast survey showed that the proportion of sub-healthy population in the world has accounted for 75%, while the proportion of truly healthy only for 5%. There are various reasons accounting for it, while an unhealthy diet is admittedly one of the critical ones. Nowadays the majority of people are living with an unhealthy diet, which has caused public concern. People are thinking over what contributes to this situation. Now there are three reasons given to make further explanations.

Living in such a competitive society, people are so busy with so many different assignments that they can seldom have easy access to a healthy diet. Just take myself for example. When I was a senior high school student, my daily life was just doing the same thing: throwing myself in a vast sea of assignments. Burdened with assignments, I even had to fight with them until midnight. Sometimes I even had no time to have a meal but only had some snacks instead. This situation occurred frequently not only in my life but also in most of my classmates' life during that time. Now as a college student, I

am still busy with study and a great variety of social activities. Consequently, I have to accept an unhealthy diet. In my point of view, the situation of workers with heavier pressure can not be better but worse.

The rapid development of fast food makes it easier for people to get into an unhealthy diet. Though Fast food is unhealthy for lacking of nutrition, it’s known for its convenience which caters to the people who are busy with assignments. T o have a meal, people only need to wait for a few minutes and pay for the bill. Besides, fast food is cheap. Most people are able to afford it. What’s more, fast food has good appearances which attract people to have a taste of it. On the contrary, a home-made meal is much complex. First, people have to go to markets to buy vegetables and meats. Then people have to cook for at least half an hour in general. Finally , people have to wash the dishes after the meal. In a word, to have a home-made meal seems to be a complex and time-consuming project. However, it’s terrible for people who value time as life. Moreover, the expenses of a home-made meal are dearer than fast food, especially in a time when the prices of vegetables and meats are rising rapidly. Additionally, not everyone has the ability to cook food

in good appearances and tastes which stimulate people‘s desire to have a taste.

The pursuit of keeping slender figures also lead people to have an unhealthy diet. The gaining of weight by the accumulation of body fat due to having a lot of fast food makes people realize the necessity of losing weights. However, losing weights by more exercises seems not to be possible. It’s not only for the reason that people’s spare time is limited, but also people prefer to have a good rest rather than do exercises in the event of having free time. In people’s opinion, eating less food equals with absorbing less body fat. Therefore, eating less food or no eating seems to be an efficient way. Undoubtedly, this unscientific idea makes people get into an unhealthy diet.

A healthy diet is an issue that everyone should attach importance to. In the course of getting into a healthy diet, the most decisive factor is the attitude people towards an unhealthy diet. Facing with various temptations, people should resist and insist on their way to having a healthy diet, just like a remark “where there is a will, there is a way”
