Fast food

What do we understand by fast food? This term refers to food that is prepared in a short period of time and that it's mainly prepared with precooked, artificial ingredients that are high in fat or sugar. The consumption of fast food has increased tremendously, and with it, the amounts of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and obesity. The components of fast food have been proven to be addictive, which has increased the numbers of obese people, specially children.
