Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live?
|
As societies are getting more competitive that ever before, people tend to spend less time preparing their meals. Some people might say that microwave food are so beneficial that they can concentrate on other tasks, such as working and dealing with people. Nevertheless, I stongly areu that modern food is disadvantageous because it ususally makes people unhealthy. Also, it encourage people to eat only what they want
To begin with. modern fast food harms physical health. Instant foods, such as hamburger and instant noodle, do not contain enough nutrients to strengthen our body. A recent survey by TIME magazine shows that most of Americans who usually enjoy fast food have chances of getting fat two times more than those who do not. Since this obesity causes serious disease,many Americans are dying of excessive fat in their bodies. As a result, slow food movement is now burgeoning internationall to go against people's preference to unhealthy food. This research and fact clearly shows that recent food's change did not improve people's lives(?)
On top of that, today's children incline to eat only their favorite food. Kids can be in danger because today's products encourage them to choose more sweet,tasty, and fatty food, which result in destruction of bady balance. When i was young, i waas picky at food so that mother was worried about me. At that ime, I though I would be fine because I believed modern food could provide various nutrients. After a few months, I was hospitalized and surprised when I heard my doctor's saying, " You are now in malnutrition. You have to take a rest and eat a lot of vegetables if you do not want to go worse. " Judging from personal experience, it is obvious that today's foods usually put people in a serious health problems.
To summarize, I believe that easily made food are not profitable for the following reasons; it has unhealthy aspect and its catalytic role of making people eat only what they like. Some people might argue that they can save their time with the advent of convenient foods. However, they have to remember the dark side of those products which is ignored by the name of "convenient" and "fast". |
