FAST FOOD IS BAD FOR US

Nowadays, many people consider that fast food can be harmful for us and they think that we should ban it. Others think that it can be harmful, but not necessary. Nevertheless, there are strong arguments for and against the idea.

It is clear that fast food is not as healthy for us as a vegetable dish. For example, Mc Donald´s or Burger King´s meat usually comes from animals with diseases, and not always are cow meats. Furthermore, they have to make excellent advertising campaigns, and promoting their hamburgers with names like “Happy meal” or things like that. In addition to this, experts think that they can cause death.

On the other hand, it can also be argued that with our lifestyle, and more in our society, we have no time for cooking healthy meals and worked dishes, so, we use Mc Donald’s  as a “workable” restaurant. Another argument for this is that their food is really tasty, and they have a long variety of hamburgers.

In conclusion, as I agree that fast food is not the best we can eat I think that people ought to be able to choose the kind of diet they want for themselves. I end up reminding that we are free to eat whatever we want.

IS ONLINE SHOPPING BETTER THAN HIGH STREET SHOPPING?

Nowadays, and with the new technology that has appeared in the last decade, online shopping has become fashionable as one of the best ways to buy things. Some people argue that it is better than traditional shopping. However, I totally disagree.
In my opinion, online shopping is much easier than high street shopping and also more comfortable, but, where is the spirit of a traditional consumer that wakes up on Saturday morning and goes to the high street to window-shop? It is a bit disgusting that we spend our lives in front of computer, and always with an excuse to stay with it.
Furthermore, I personally find nasty the reliability of online shopping. For example, sometimes you buy something on EBay or a shopping page like it and it never comes.

To sum up, I strongly prefer traditional shopping than online shopping if it´s not necessary because I believe that the soul of high street shopping on nonworking days will never die.

Last of the Mohicans´ comment

In my personal oppinion It seemed to me a good history and I liked it, specially the final battle, that hides the ending of the book. I also amused the historical context, because I really like history and this book took a little of the USA history.
 But when you are starting to read it, it´s a bit difficult to follow the history, because there are a lot of characters in a few pages and you are all the time going to the first page to know who is Hawk-eye, Chingachgook... and it´s really annoying because I didn´t understand the history at first, but when you get the characters it´s funny and sometimes the book gripped me, sometimes.
Finally I have to say that I think it´s a great book but it isn´t the best book of my life, just one more.
