Junk Food
The food that is tasty but lacking food value is called junk food. It is
prepared with chemicals, artificial scent and flavour in the factory.
Especially the children like it because of its taste and flavour and also
because of its repeated advertisement through different channels by the company
to allure them. Chips, some powders called Cvit or something else, some
biscuits, artificial juice, jam, jelly, chanachur are some of the junk foods.
These are often prepared in unhygienic environment and they lose vitamin and
other food values while preparing, because they are often fried excessively and
added chemicals to increase taste. As these kinds of food do not have vitamins
and other minerals, the people in the habit of eating such kind of food suffer
from vitamin deficiency. As a result they are attacked by teeth and skin
diseases. The chemicals used for flavour and preservatives also harm our teeth
and skin. So we should avoid junk food and take home made food. We should take
balance food having proportioned carbohydrate, protein, vitamins, minerals, and
water. We should prepare food in a way so that it does not lose vitamins
because some vitamins are resolved in water and might be washed away and others
are destroyed in heat. So we must be cautious about preparing and taking food.
