There are growing facts that fast food is one of the worst parts of modern life. Studies have shown that burgers and fried chicken can cause health problems.

However, fast food restaurants are still attractive. The most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff are friendly and very smart-looking in their tidy and bright uniforms. Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people often pass by. It is so easy to just grab a burger and eat on the way to work.

Fast food is often so conveniently packed that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also very clean. A lot of clever ads have made them the coolest places, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.

As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out of date sooner or later.

Therefore, instead of saying no to fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade（说服）them to change their menu! Fast food restaurants can be places to go to when you want to eat something that will be good for your body. If they could join healthy food together with their speed of service and delicious tastes that will be the next best thing on Earth for people!

Deng Jiaxian was a Chinese physicist, known as the Father of China's Atomic Bomb（原子弹）. Bom in Anhui Province, Deng attended the National Southwestern Associated University in 1941 and went to America for a further study in physics. He studied a lot and got much useful knowledge.
