(1 Topic 2 Purposes, Topic: Ramen)Ramen intaking must be regulated (Evaluative)

 Most people know that ramen is unhealthy food because its salt and fat.
However, so many people eat ramen so often that ramen can harm their health seriously.
The materials that make ramen unhealthy is sodium and saturated fat.
 According to the research of Korea Consumer Agency(KCA), so much sodium and saturated fat
were included in ramen. Averagely, 51.3% saturated fat and 86.5% sodium of daily nutrition standard
were contained in just one pack of ramen. While daily nutrition standard sets 2000mg sodium
and 15g saturated fat as daily limit of intake, average 1729mg sodium and 7.7g saturated fat were
contained in one pack. This means, if somone intake more than two packs of ramen in one day,
his health can seriously damaged by ramen. KCA says that ramen manufacturing companies must
reduce the amount of sodium and sturated fat, and use more unsaturated fat.
 I think what KCA said is necessary, but it is not realistic because companies will not follow
this advice. If they reduce the amount of sodium and saturated fat as KCA advised, their ramens
will become less tasty, which will lead to decrease of consumers. Rather, I think consumers must
control their intakes. Although ramen has so much sodium and saturated fat, it will not a problem
if we eat ramen less than before.

  1. Ramen is very convenient to cook and delicious. I like Shin-ramen the most, but Shin-ramen is ranked highest sodium contained. I didn't know that so far;( Cheap price of unhealthy foods are tempting. We have to reduce consumption of the Ramen for health.
