Ban Fast Food Home Delivery Services to Save Pakistani Youth?
Did you know that Pakistan has one of the highest rates of diabetes in the world? According to the International Diabetes Federation, over 7 million Pakistanis suffer from diabetes, and this number is expected to rise to 14 million by 2045!
A major contributor to this alarming trend is the growing addiction to junk food among our youth. Fast food home delivery services have made it easier than ever for young people to access unhealthy, high-calorie foods that are linked to various health issues, including:
- Obesity
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Cancer
The statistics are shocking:
- 1 in 5 Pakistani children is obese (Source: World Health Organization)
- Fast food consumption has increased by 50% among Pakistani youth in the past 5 years (Source: Pakistan Journal of Nutrition)
- Diabetes-related deaths in Pakistan have increased by 30% in the past decade (Source: International Diabetes Federation)
It's time to take action! Shouldn't we ban fast food home delivery services to protect our youth from the dangers of junk food? Share your thoughts!
