"Super Eaters"

You go to the bathroom, stand up over the toilet, waiting for it to come up, you stick your finger down you throat. Then BLARGG!!! All your lunch is right in front of you in the toilet. After you wash your mouth out, and get in the bed with the biggest headache in the world you wonder what you ate to make you puke. "It was my lunch!" you exclaim to yourself laying on the bed.Is it really the junk food or is it the fact that your eating too much of it? This essay will tell you all the causes and effects on eating too much junk food.








People eat poorly for a number of reasons, but there are two main reasons why I believe that they tend to eat junk food, even though they know that it is not good for them and also potentially doing them harm.

The first is that junk food is available, it's present, it's around, it's easy to pick up, I could get a Dr. Pepper and a chocolate bar without treading a hundred footsteps from my front door. If you look at any shop, the junk food is on display, because it's no good for us and the sugar industries really need us to keep eating that sweet gunk.



 Second, Sugar is addictive, try coming off a chocolate habit, you'll get cranky, have headaches mood swings, cravings, as if you had a minor addiction. The sweet industry survives on that addiction.


  There are many effects of eating too much junk food, one effect is obesity. 
Obesity is associated with every type of junk food. The main reason is the absence of fiber, high amount of high-fat calories and low quality cholesterol. Which may cause obesity as well as increase risks of heart diseases. Many studies suggest that frequent consumption of soft drinks and other junk food is strongly related with children obesity. Soda drinks which are high in sugar and other calories is low in nutrition and this has been a proved fact that it causes obesity. Though soft drinks companies do not agree with it and say that their are multitude of facts that cause obesity and drinking soda is not the only reason behind it but comparative studies between kids who drink soda in schools and those who do not drink proved that soft drink consumption is increasing obesity in young boys and girls.


  Another is Tooth Decay.  
 Most of the fast food chains and sweetened juices, soft drinks and other processed food companies use low quality fats, sugar and high amount of salt in the processing of food. This can cause problems with teeth. Tooth decay has become very common in young children and the possible reason could be the use of these type of foods.
