1. * With an increasingly
number of people eating
fast food which can cause
health issues, some
people think that the only
solution is to ban it
completely. What is your
view on this?

2. *
*Disagree

3. *

4. *The fast food industries, also known as Quick Service
Restaurants (QSR)
*demand for cheap and quick food has increased
drastically - fast food franchising is growing rapidly
*fast-paced lifestyle - cooking is no longer a preferable
choice.
*No doubt, fast food is generally associated with health
issues like obesity and high cholesterol.
*This leads to people suggesting that the fast food
industry be banned completely.
*However, in my opinion, banning fast food restaurant is
not the best way to counter increasing health issues.
There are a few alternative approaches to the
problem.

5. *
*Implementing regulations in fast food
production industries.
*Be aware of the marketing and advertising
strategies in the fast food industries and thus
take action.
*Educate the public on fast food in relation to
an unhealthy diet.

6. *
Implementing regulations in fast food production
industries.

7. *The government can play a role in implementing
regulations in fast food production industries.
*Fast processed food is bad to the health - a high amount
of calories and fat
*volume, speed and low priced food - fast food restaurants
tend to disregard the healthy cooking method.
*keep an eye on the food production.
*Policies and guidelines - outline the best practises to
meet the standard of healthy food.
*frying and grilling should be done at a suitable
temperature level - oil should not be overused - to
reduce the unhealthy effects on fast foods.
*should also control the portion of the servings

8. *
Be aware of the marketing and advertising strategies
in the fast food industries and thus take action.

9. *the government and the public should be aware of the
marketing and advertising strategies in the fast food
industries
*fast food industries - primarily profit- based businesses,
advertisements - fictitious and misleading way.
*Commercials should be controlled and supervised by the
government.
*More attention - on targeted marketing strategies on
children and teens.
*Advertisements encourage the public to have takeaways
on burgers and fries rather than having a proper meal.
*Some even label their food as healthy - play a negative
role in influencing one’s eating habit.
*benefit the food industries that promote healthy foods in
order to attract more followers.

10. *
Educate the public on fast food in relation to an
unhealthy diet.

11. *the Ministry of Health Malaysia should educate the
public on fast food in relation to an unhealthy diet.
*lack the knowledge about the nutrition value -how much
food they should consume.
*became a reason why fast food chains are expanding
and profiting intensively.
*Studies have shown that fast food that is consumed can
easily reach the amount of calories one person needs to
consume in a day just by one meal.
*often prefer large-sized fries and carbonated drinks
*people must be educated to gain self-awareness - the
individuals understand better and acknowledge the
nutrition content in their food
*Health issues can be scaled down
*Self-control is important because one is free to make his
own choice of diet.

12. *

13. *In conclusion, I personally think that banning fast
food completely is not the best measure to
control alarming health issues.
*Instead, national policies on food production,
marketing controls and advertisement and
education are a more effective way to ensure the
public’s health.
*In fact, studies have shown that banning fast food
policies was a failure when implemented in South
Los Angeles, California.
*Certainly, banning fast food cannot completely
deviate the public’s eating habits.
