No to banning the fast food to youngsters

Actually one of the most consumed things, especially in young people, is the fast food. The fact that makes food, fast food is the quickly form that food is serviced. The problem of this type of food is the health dangers, and then many people look these food like death itself. There is the reason why many people don´t like that young people eat fast food. But a bad idea continues that banning the fast food to youngsters is not the solution because fast food isn´t a big danger. Banning the fast food would be banning the freedom of youngsters, and it would be unjust banning the fast food only to people under the age of 18.

The danger of fast food is the calories that it has which produces fat in the body. The excess of this element causes health damage. Taking for example the famous restaurant McDonald´s, there fries have 400 calories per 100 grams; a BigMac hamburger has 540 calories, while the bacon cheeseburger Angus weighs 790. Calories for other dining options are Chicken McNuggets which contain 190 to 460, Filet-O-Fish at 380, McRib sandwich 500, and McFlurry 630 calories. But this only affects if the person consumes more than he needs, the excess is the real problem, that is the reason why fast food isn´t a big danger. Banning the fast food will be banning the freedom of young people because they have the right to eat what we have seen does not cause any damage. Fast food is not bad provided we do not overeat, as I had been talking before. The advantages of fast food is the price, service, and taste, these are the reasons why the young people like this food. Then if they do not go down into the excess, youngsters are free to eat fast food when wished.

It is unjust banning the fast food to youngsters and not to adults. If fast food is bad, it should be banned to both youth and adults. Young people are humans like adults; both take the same likes and the same healthy problems. It is obvious that there are differences and one has more life experience than the other, but they deserve the same treatment because both are humans.

In conclusion banning the fast food to people under the age of 18 is incorrect because fast food isn´t a big danger if you don´t eat it in excess; it is a form of banning the freedom of young people because they have the right to eat what we have seen that does not cause any danger; and it is unjust, for both youngsters and adults since they deserve the same treatment regarding eating fast food.
