Fast food == In today's busy world, more and more of us depend on fast food restaurants for a quick, and cheap meals. Every year, thousands of new-fast-food restaurants open up in different cities around the world,bring both benefits and disadvantages. This is especially true in the UAE,where many people eat fast food. == == In this essay,I will discus some of the cause and effects of fast -food restaurants. There are number of causes for the increase in fast-food restaurants .First of all, many people eat fast food because they have busy life.For example,UK workers work an average of 14 hours a week,compared to 39 in Danmark and 40 hours in Germany (  reading); as a result , people do not have much time to cook meals at home. Second,fast -food is usually cheap, which makes it popular .For instance, a MC Donald's or a Wendy's hamburger with,french fire and cola costs about $ 3.00 for the meal,which is much less than a meal at proper restaurant .Therefore ,fast-food restaurant are economical(listening). ==

Finally ,fast-food restaurants attract families. To illustrate, they are cheap, have play area for children, are decorated in bright colors, and give away toys with the foot.
== Form this,we can see that there are a few causes why fast-food restaurants have become so popular. However ,an increase in fast-food restaurants has led to some negative effects.First,fast-food restaurants are not healthy for people and this is specially not good for children .For instance, the nutritional value of hamburgers,pizza,fried chicken,and ice cream is poor! these foods contain high fat and few Vitamins ( listening )For this reason,the increase in fast-food also means an increase in the risk of health problems, which is bad for the heart.Another key negative effect is boss of local dishes.Due to more "Americanization " in food,people in many countries are eating their local dishes less than before,which is causing them to slowly lose their traditional cuisine (reading ). Therefore ,it is clear that == == There are negative effects to increase in fast-food restaurant.Fore example,the cause are that they are cheap, family-frindly,and they good for people who are busy,which makes them attractive,consequently,cultures in the future,I belive we can eat fast food, but we should eat more o our traditonal and healthy national dishes. ==
