Junk Food
Cause
-Overeating is surely the main cause of obesity, esp eating too much red meat that lead to heart
risks, Obesity is more prevalent, widespread, common
-Lifestyle: ready-made meals which are a quick and easy option for parents who are busy and
do not have time to sit down to a proper meal.
-Teenagers are attracted by Western food. the use of colourings vs flavourings (phm mu vs
gia v) which encourage people to purchase food, and it also look atempting (adj, li cun) to
eat or even preserve the food products as well. Food additives may cause various health issues
such as cancer, hyperactivity (tnh hiu ng thi ha) in children
- Overweight: Play video games/ chat on the Internet instead of/rather than doing outside or
playing sports -> being overweight in their early age -> overweight children suffer from
poor/negative body image and experience bullying from other children (UCN,tnh trng b bt
nt, bylly,v) -> affect their mental health. The negative stigma (du hiu tiu cc) of being
overweight may also affect self-esteem (lng t trng, self-worth)
Problem
-cause health issues later in life: obesity, high blood pressure (hypertension), heart disease,
diabetes
Solution
- One sensible suggestion for dealing with this is to improve the level of health education so
that we eat better and live longer + prevent illness and reduce medical costs

-Authority should ban the advertisements of fast food on means of media to children; limit junk
food advertising. Government should create more entertaining and meaningful activities to
distract peoples attention from hectic pace of daily life.
- Lots of exercise/regular physical exercise will prevent heart attack. People should have positive
and upbeat, optimistic attitudes toward our lives, no matter what hardships and difficulties,
intense pressure we have, and we should always keep smiling and calm.

-Parents should prepare healthier meals for their children. They must spend more times for
shopping in the traditional market to get fresh foods rather than to purchase frozen foods.
Children should eat a balanced diet, try to cook fresh ingredients
A vegeterian diet
Merits of this phenomenon
A vegetarian diet is healthier vs cheaper. a vegetarian diet includes grains, nuts, vegetables and
fruits, which provide vitamins and minerals those are essential for a healthy body. vegetarian
diet contains low amount of fats, cholesterol and saturated fats.s
Raising animals in factory farm conditions is cruel.
Meat production causes more emissions than transportation.
Beef production uses 100 times the amount of water that vegetable production requires.
many scientists have also stated that vegetarianism also contributes to reducing the effects of
global warming.
Drabacks of this phenomenon
- Some nutrients are best absorbed from meat sourse like iron which is one of the essential
mineral of our diet
- If animals are not slaughtered/butchered for eating pupose due to cruelity and ethical
reasons then leaving them in wild will not make them safe, think of fox waiting for peaceful
death of chicken before eating it or cow to volunteer to be eaten by lion
there are certain factors that we can get in more amounts from the meat or fish, meat is
considered as the major source of vitamin B12 and contain more quantities of iron and zinc. . A
diet lacking in sufficient carbohydrates and proteins can lead to anemia (bnh thiu mu)

Lifestyle is a major cause of poor health in developed countries. Most people now travel by car
rather than walking, and machines now perform many traditional manual jobs. As a result,
people tend to work in offices where little physical activity is required. At home, people are also
less active; most adults relax by watching television, while children play video games rather than
doing outdoor sports. Technology has therefore made our lives more comfortable but perhaps
less healthy.
