Debate Speech Fixed

Dear Fellow Students/Debaters

I happen to know there have been going on a debate, concerning the fast food, and weather it should be forbidden for young people under 18 years old or not. I believe that what you´re doing must be for the health of the youngers because of effects that fast food has on their bodies and on their well being. The food that is now growing all around the world might look really tasty and appealing, but so you know it contains a wealth of hidden hazards which are very dangerous when they are eaten in large amounts, and they are a major cause of obesity, especially in children.

Everything that a fast food meal contains is processed, just like processed potatoes, processed eggs and milk products, as well as hydrogenated vegetable oil, saturated fats, gums, sugar substitutes, and lots of other products, that taste good just because the people add herbs and spices. They also contain artificial colours and preservatives and some artificial flavouring which complete the unhealthy package.

The damage that fast food can create is incredible when they are consumed on a regular basis, and almost everyone is doing that. Families work, and they don’t rely on someone to make a meal in a conventional way of cooking with fresh ingredients. I know they are really tasty, I have eaten some myself, but I also eat fresh veggies and fruits, because I know that when your diet lacks of this fresh food, your intake of essential nutrients that are derived from these sources is almost zero. Also, your intake of dietary fiber is so low that could go to nonexistent. What you make to your body with fast food and no fresh food is this:
                              - Raise your blood pressure
                              - Increase the levels of cholesterol
                              - Retard your metabolic rate
                              - Weaken you immune system
                              - Destabilize your sugar levels
                              - Reduce the ability of your colon to function the right way

So in conclusion, fast food makes your body function the wrong way, and it could be deadly. But what I think is that you shouldn´t forbid the fast food to the people younger than 18 years, what we should do is create conscience on them, so they could know that they can eat fast food, once in a while, but that they need fresh ingredients on their bodies so they can work the way they are intended.

Thank for your attention.
