Nowadays, junk food is the best choice for many people because of its benefits. We also see clearly children are eating more fast food and convenience snacks in many countries. This writing will look at some causes for this and their outcomes.

First of all, the main reason for children eating more junk food is the lack of much family’s care. Their parents are often too busy with work. They only focus on how to earn a living and how to be rich, so they have no time to take care of their family. For example, because of having no time to prepare for breakfast, many parents give their children some money to buy what they want or take them to a fast food shop before going to school. In the evening, they are too tired after working, they only usually want to eat something and rest without cooking. Besides, nowadays we can be easy to find shops which sell junk food with good taste and cheap price. Therefore, that is why some children have a habit of eating fast food and convenience snacks.

On the other hand, those food bring to children many consequences. First, they will have no cooking skills. I am sure that they will have to face many troubles when they force to cook.
