Junk the Junk Food

Junk the Junk Food

"Junk" refers to things that are old, useless, or lack significant value. However, junk has found its way onto our tables in today's modern world. Once, food was regarded as medicine and a source of health, but now it often comes with the prefix "junk."

The fast-food industry is growing rapidly and is projected to reach $35 billion by 2033, with junk food taking a significant share of this market. We habitually discard unwanted items in junkyards, understanding that they have no place in our homes due to their unhygienic, unsafe, and infectious nature. Yet, when it comes to junk food, we wholeheartedly embrace it and store it in our bodies, turning our stomachs into junkyards. Once our stomachs become filled with junk, we need to cleanse or heal ourselves with medicines, leading to the growth of the pharmaceutical industry, which is expected to reach $130 billion by 2030.

The concerning issue is that children are being fed junk food. India’s strength lies in its young population, but our obsession with junk foods could result in an unhealthy youth. This generation may lack the wellness needed to join the workforce or serve in the military. Consequently, we may face a crisis of healthy manpower on one hand and a shortage of strong soldiers on the other, which could harm our economy and national security.

There is a saying, "Better late than never." The time has come to identify junk food, classify it based on its impact, and list the diseases it can cause. We need to spread awareness about its effects on health. In fact, there should be a statutory warning that states, "Consumption of junk food is harmful to health." Junk food poses a threat to both our country and our homes.
