Topic: Prepared food that is readily available from restaurants and grocery stores is not good. List down its advantages and disadvantages.

----------------

Prepared foods are those which are readily available from restaurants and grocery stores. They are pre-cooked and can be consumed immediately. This attracts a lot of youngsters from the society to rely on them than those which are prepared at home. Not only youngsters but in some cases even adults are addicted to these kind of foods. In certain cases where both couples are working, they tend to depend on the nearby restaurants for breakfast.

The primary reason for people to get attracted towards it is lazyness. People are lazy to spend time in purchasing vegitables, meart etc.., clean it, wake up in the morning and prepare it. Secondary reason is that most of them doesn't know how to prepare food. Or they will not get the same taste that they get from those in restaurants. They believe that they will never get the same smell, taste, flavor etc.. if they cook the same receipe at home.

The only advantage is consuming these prepared food is time saving. If we take it out rest all are disadvantages. All these are prepared with artificial colors and flavors in order to attract people. They will add several substances like ajinamoto to increase the taste. Moreover some substances are added to reduce the appetite so that you consume less. These foods are expensive too. If not, they will compromise on the quality to cope up with the discount that they provide.

This behavior can be changed primarily by dealing with our laziness. All of us must find time to purchase groceries and prepare food at home. Nowadays most of these recipes are available on Youtube. This gives us a proper control over the ingredients. We can easily avoid those which are harmful to our health. I would suggest people to try it out two or three times in the weekend and if you wake up a little early in morning, the same food with the same taste can be prepared at home.
