Changes in Food Habits
Before Stone Age, people used to eat fruits, leaves and anything they found from the forest.
However, this habit changed into hunting animals, preserving food items and planting and growing
vegetables, which eventually led into farming different crops like maize, corn, and rice. People were
healthy, they rarely had diseases and never needed extra exercise because their daily work kept their
bodies running. At present, we have turned the agriculture into a mass scale production, including
machinery, technology and pesticides, all of which came in with the green revolution. With green
revolution agriculture and the traditional farming culture turned upside down. As far as now, farmers
who are able to cope up with the multinational cooperation's and their large-scale, expensive
products, pesticides and high-yielding varieties of seeds, keep producing crops for the market. Yet
the traditional, low-income farmers even today, especially in Asian countries, are in a dire state.
Fast food is another major factor in modern food habits. Although many people find it convenient, it
leads to many health conditions. Today people are unhealthy, needs medicine and functions on diets
and exercise machines.

Junk Food and 'Real Food'
A lot of people around the world are getting fat because they eat too much “junk food”.
Junk food is food that has a lot of calories, but not many nutrients. Nutrients are things that
your body needs, such as vitamins, minerals and fiber. Most “fast food”, such as KFC and stuff sold
in packages, is junk food. It comes from factories, where scientists add refined sugar, salt and
vegetable oil to make it taste good. They do this because they want to make money. They do not care
about your health: that is your job. Junk food does taste good, too. That's why people drink huge
bags of “iced tea” and Coke, and eat a big bag of potato chips, and still feel hungry. Their brains keep
telling them to eat because it knows the body does not have all the nutrients it needs.
Humans evolved eating three main kinds of food: meat, vegetables and fruit. These are “real
foods”. Things like refined sugar, flour and vegetable oil are not part of a human's natural diet. In
America, which has the most obese people, it is hard for poor people to find 'real food'. Fresh
vegetables and meat are only sold in supermarkets, and they are more expensive than junk foods. In
America, more poor people are obese than rich people. Even people in prisons are obese. Here, we
are lucky real food is still available – but so is junk food.
Your body is the most valuable thing you will ever have in your life, so you should treat your
body like a temple – not a garbage bin. Don't eat junk food.
