Summary of the research:
The research question here will talk about processed food and its nutritional value.
This question also states the effects of processed food on human health and steps to be taken
in order to improve the nutritional value of the food. The processed food concerned here is
hamburger. The main factor which influenced me to research this topic was to understand the
reason for the over intake of processed foods among human beings. I found that processed
food was cheaper and tastier than self or own made food. For example, hamburger
preparation would cost more time and money than processed hamburger. My key finding here
is to state that processed foods are harmful to people, and this situation needs current
attention. However, it is tough to make everyone believe in the above statement. This study is
mainly done by interviewing the staffs of “The Burger Bar”.

In this paper, the research question is “ How do processed food affect your health
and how can they be made healthier ?". This study will mainly focus on the effects of
hamburger on human health and the ways by which the food can be made healthier.
On an introductory note, it can be stated that this study will talk about processed
food and its effects on human health. People are found to be consuming food without
knowing their main constituents. Most of them do not know about the impact the food is
having on their health. I focused on this topic because it mainly concerns the primary fast
food in most of the countries. The key findings of this study will include the principal
components of the food (hamburger), the secondary components of the food after processing,
ways in which food processing affects the human health (addition of preservatives) and the
techniques to make the food healthier than its former state.
The discussion is written in accordance with the thesis statement provided above.
During an interview with the cooks of “The Burger Bar”, I asked them about how they
prepare a healthy hamburger. People know that hamburger is one of the most common junk
foods of all times. However, the above-stated restaurant, cooked nutritious hamburger while
maintaining its taste. Other brands, which make hamburger, are KFC, McDonald and many
more. The secrets of food being good at nutrient and taste lies in its ingredients. The primary
components of a hamburger are beef and cheese with bread. This brand uses specific organic
chemicals which do not harm the fundamental constituents of the food. Preserving the
primary components of the food makes it healthy for human health. After taking the
interview, I devised my conclusion for healthy food. The human body needs six primary
components to maintain a healthy body. Water, protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, fat and
minerals are these primary constituents for the human body. Healthy food must always
consist of the above stated fundamental biomolecules. However, people always foods to be
low in fat content and high in proteins. The main bimolecular components of hamburger
