What is more, it is convenient to eat in or take away, and it is good for students who has too much lesions or too busy to cooking. Lastly, fast food is not expensive. It is so popula

Thakore (2007) argued that junk foods were convenience and tasty, but there were some potential risk of eating them. First and the foremost, it is difficult to digest this kind of junk food.

17、 Also they are very spicy which means they had bad influence of peoples digestive system. Junk food as a breakfast should be the worst thing.Mcmacken (2010) also stated that junk food does not have benefit for students health. On the contrary, they can be harmful to students body. There are not many

18、 nutritious in junk food. Most of them could cause a large number of problems. For example, sugary snacks or sugary drinks could destroy students teeth; food like hamburgers and chips contain high fat and calorie which make students get fat as well as damage their IQ.In addition, Lee (2011) demonstr

19、ated that junk foods do not include in any advantageous to peoples body. Firstly, these food are filled with bad carbohydrates, fats and do not offer any helpful energy. In one word, junk food is not only cannot provide basic nutrients but also causing weakness in peoples body. Secondly, junk food w

20、ould make people poor concentration because it contains amount of oil and fat. The last and the most important thing is that it could lead to heart diseases which include myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest and atherosclerosis.However, Wilk (2006) claimed that though junk food has so many disadvan

21、tages but it also make peoples life convenience and save time. Nowadays, more and more people in order to work and do not have enough time to cook at home or eating at restaurants. Junk food may be a good choice for people.2.3 Effective way of fast foodThere is no something as a “bad” food. All food

22、s can fit into a healthy meal plan. It is exactly that fast food is usually high fat, high calories, high cholesterol as well as sodium.

25、estions: Try your best do not choose fried chicken or chicken nuggets. Have a good plan to control the benefit between fast food and nurture food. Have a salad or soup with fast food together. When you ordering a subway or sandwich, please choose lean meats like turkey or grilled chicken instead of

26、fried food such as cheese. If fruits and vegetable are available, try to add them into your meal. For instance, tomato and cucumber on sandwiches or burgers.2.4 Aim:As has been discussed already, this literature review has analyzed reasons for choose fast food as well as the advantage and disadvanta
