<s>[INST] There are fast-food restaurants everywhere today, so it would be easy to eat fast food for every meal. However, the drawback to fast food is that it is notoriously unhealthy. Fast food is generally high in carbohydrates, fat, and calories. Eating a diet of fast food can lead to obesity. It is also unhealthy because it lacks essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for healthy living. For example, fast food is high in salt, which is why high blood pressure is common among people who eat a diet of fast food regularly. Another drawback of fast food is that the portion sizes are usually too large, leading to eating more calories and fat than we actually need. A healthy diet is composed mostly of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, which are not usually found in fast food. In contrast, even though junk foods, like potato chips and candy, are also unhealthy, they are at least not eaten as meals but as snacks, and they are not a part of overall meal pattern. Therefore, fast food, which is eaten as meals, is unhealthier than junk food.
