Campaign against fast food
Summary
This article tells us about a campaign against fast food that is to be conducted by the Health Ministry of Malaysia. This campaign aims to educate the public on the bad consequences of eating fast food. The ministry will cooperate with non-government organisations to first ban the fast food advertisement in the local media including mass and electronic. Malaysians are suffering from several diseases caused by eating fast food and the percentage is expected to extend to a larger number in a few years.
Reflection
KFC? McD? Pizza Hut? Burger King? What are the similarities between all of them? They're not just fast food; they are 'silent killers'!!! If you frequently eat fast food - no matter in what ways you're taking it; eat in, take away or even drive thru - you are more likely to have illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney failure (just to name some). So now, the government especially the Health Ministry of Malaysia is planning to conduct a campaign to educate the public on the damaging impact of fast food. For me, I strongly agree and support the government if this campaign is to be conducted because we're not only avoiding the mispend of money to buy fast food and preventing midless use of time loafing at those restaurants but we can also reduce the amount of carbonated drink taken, expose the nutritious yet cheap Malaysian food and strengthen our healthiness.
By reducing our frequent or monthly or weekly visit to fast food restaurants, we can avoid the mispend of money to buy those unhealthy diet. Fast food which is quickly served and delicious entices all generations of people especially little kids and university students. It’s not good for little children to eat fast food often, so by banning fast food advertisement, they can hardly get the info of the latest ‘beef fold-over’ (just to name one). University students will spend their PTPTN money to eat this convenient food; so this campaign is somehow hoped to educate them on the consequences of taking unhealthy diet.
Sometimes, we are mindlessly using our time loafing at the fast food restaurants. Secondary students will loaf there after school and waste their time just to eat and chat at those places. Sometimes, university students do that too. It’s better for the government to carry out such a campaign to control this habit.
Every time or at least almost every time we go to fast food restaurants, the drink served together with the course meal will probably be a carbonated drink. By diminishing our habit of eating fast food, we actually can cut down the amount of carbonated drink taken. When this happens, we are actually strengthening our health gradually and preventing ourselves from becoming a victim of ‘silent killers’.
While the government carries out this campaign, we can help them by promoting or exposing our nutritious yet tasty Malaysian food. Why do we eat ‘cheesy wedges’ when we can eat kuih seri muka which is cheaper and tastier? A plate of nasi lemak is much better and more satisfying than a set of pizza with the mushroom soup. We should eat more Malaysian food rather than be enticed by those unhealthy food.

By cutting down the amount of fast food taken, we could, in a way, strengthen our healthiness. When we take less fast food, we indeed reduce the amount of salt taken by our body. Most fast food contain a high amount of salt and that is not good for our body. This can lead to illnesses mentioned above and a better way to stay out of them is to stay out of fast food.
In conclusion, we should agree and give our full support to the government to conduct this campaign against fast food so that we can save our money and time, drink less carbonated drink and expose our own Malaysian food while strengthening our health.
