Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Step away from the burger: Why a 'Western'
diet is bad for your health
Is fish or chicken burger better in
nutrition than the ordinary beef hamburger? There are various factors that
affect nutrition to human body. It seems the more processed the food is, the
less nutritious benefits it provides. For example, burgers, sandwiches, frozen
prepared meals, snacks and sweets. They are mainly Western foods. These could
be substituted by beef bowl, pasta, chicken noodle or fruits that are commonly
eaten in other part of the world.
However, as the global population,
especially urban population increases, trendy and convenient and Western fast
food are becoming more popular all over the world. And make the matter worse,
migrants to such urban cities tend to exercise less but eat more such
not-so-nutritious fast food. This not only increases the number of people who
are overweight or obese but also the risk to suffer from diseases such as diabetes
and colon cancer.
Getting western education teaches how to
develop better job careers but doesn’t seem to improve the diet.
Enjoy reading and learning what should be
avoided for diet.
