I would like to turn your attention towards the new trend and addiction of junk food among kids and youngsters. This junk food has just become the soul of kids and youngsters. School kids enjoy junk food in their recess timings where youngsters eat it all the day. The kids and youth prefer having junk food as their lunch and dinner meals.
Parents are getting careless about this issue every passing day. In fact, they recommend their children to go have ‘KFC’ on their way back to home as there might be no lunch.
Junk food is extremely unhealthy and causes several diseases. Junk food has decreased the intake of natural and precious food items in our human bodies, which can cause a lot of problems in the near future. That’s why different diseases nowadays can be seen especially in the young adults and the children.
Parents need to start being cautious about this and try to give their children, regardless of how old or young they are, healthy foods and a proper diet which will help them grow in a healthy way and they don’t have to run to the hospital every second week. Teachers and institutions should start raising awareness and check how healthy their cafeteria food is.
