6 As countries develop, people are eating more and more junk food from places like McDonald s or Burger King. What are some solutions to this problem? In many countries, people often eat at fast food restaurants. This is a problem because people who eat too much junk food may develop serious illnesses, such as heart disease and diabetes. However, there are several solutions to this problem. The first solution is that the government should make healthy food less expensive than junk food. For example, it could give farmers money to grow cheap fruit and vegetables. As a result, people might eat more cheap and healthy food and less junk food. A second solution to the problem of junk food is that schools should teach children about nutrition. This is important because if children eat junk food all the time, they may develop health problems. For instance, if children become obese, they could get diabetes and need medicine. Finally, families should make sure that their children eat more healthy food. For instance, parents could give their children a healthy lunch to take to school, instead of giving them money to buy lunch. Because of this, those children would not have money to spend on junk food and they would have to eat healthily. In conclusion, although the issue of people eating too much junk food affects many countries, there are solutions to this problem. The government should make healthy food cheaper, schools should give their students nutrition education and parents should give their children healthy school lunches. I believe that everybody should eat more healthy food because good health is very important.
