Thirty years passed from the first MacDonald have located in Ginza, Tokyo in 1971. MacDonald group in Japan sold over twelve hundred million hamburgers last year. This fact tells us one person ate about ten hamburgers in a year. People of today are very busy and don’t have enough time to eat foods. So fast-convenient-cheep foods like hamburgers are expedient and necessity. Nowadays young people, of course business man, moreover elderly people eat fast foods. We take kindly to eat hamburgers. But now this eating habit is a problem under argument because of several reasons.
One is the lack of taste. We can always eat the same taste of hamburgers. This is one reason of the popularity. But it might often be salty and strong. Fast foods prevent us, especially children, developing the taste. Their parents have brought up with such fast foods and might have been lack of taste, so they are unnoticed this danger.
Second, there is a strong presumption that we lose season. One of how to feel seasons is eating vegetables and fruits which have seasons. We eat chilly foods in summer and eat hot foods in winter. But hamburger cannot tell us season because it is always the same taste.
Third, if we eat only fast foods, we tend to gain high calories, carbohydrate and fat. Mostly we eat a set of hamburger of potatoes and a drink. The nutrition is biased; we might easily get a trouble of health and get sick like overweight, high blood pressure, thrombosis and so on. In fact there is the case that someone accused MacDonald of offering high calorie foods.
Forth, more and more common fast foods become, traditional eating style of region faded out. Tenant farmers of region are in trouble. The crops are reduced. It is also serious matter for country.
On the other hand fast foods overflow, slow foods came into existence. The slow foods campaign has three mottos: having traditional foods leisurely with family and friends, looking the goodness of traditional foods over again, saving the tenant farmers. The beginning of the slow foods campaign was Italy. When the first MacDonald entered into Italy, Italian opposed to it about 15 years ago. In Japan such a campaign began several years ago and now pick up. Thought it is still our custom to have fast foods, we have to look the eating habit back again. It should be good for us to have foods slowly with my family.
