Topic: Nowaday food is easier to prepare. Has this change improved way people live?

In this globalization world, everything seems to become faster and easier. This includes the way food is prepared. In the past, food preparation is quite a process that takes time and energy. Cooking “Fried Rice,” for example, one has to plant rice, tomatoes, and cucumbers, raise pigs, and chickens. It is not easy at all. In order for plants to grow well, they need fertile soil, proper temperature, and enough water. Cattles also need good food and a lot of care. Not to mention diseases plants and cattles might be infected. Nowaday, all that complicated steps are neglected. Everything has been changed. For instance, what one has to do when wants to cook is just going to some superstore around the corner, and buy what he needs. There is everything that one could want ranging from basic ingredients to pre-cooked food. It is very convenient and helps people save their time a lot. Thus, this has lead to a conclusion that we have been brought a new way of living by a new style of eating. However, is this actually an improvement? Why we never seem to have enough time in doing things? Why people tend to get sick easily and not as healthy as before? There should be something wrong going on in our society.
To begin with, food today are definitely easier to preapre. We no longer need lands for growing plants and raising cattles. The advance in technolody and production has lead us to a new life-style. Everything you need is available in the stores. What one really needs to do is buying
whatever he wants and cook them. Moreoever, there is what so-called “pre-cooked food” that can help us abandon even the cooking step. In pre-cooked food, everything has already been cooked, and packed, so one thing one might need is juts an microwave to heat it up. Some foods might come in a form of frozen or canned food that allow you to keep them for weeks or months. And because of this preservation method, it enable us to find all kind of food from all parts of the world. Another change in the way we eat is the Drive-in food. Drive-in food service takes each one just a second to order, and shortly, the food is ready. Becuase of it popularity, drive-in restarants have been sprung up all over the place. For wherever you are, at home or on the road, you will be able to find this type of restaurants.
However, it might not be as good as it may seems. Pre-cooked foods are, most of the time, junk food. They are filled mostly with carbohydate and fat that lead to an overweight problem. This has been one of the serious problems that chrildren in many countries are facing. For example, in the United States, all the surveys show that more than half of American people are overweight especially among young children. It is so serious that this issue has been brought to the court asking one restaurant for the responsibility. In addition, eating food that has gone through a process of freezing or adding preservatives is probably not a wise idea. Because when food is frozen, its nutrients will be losen; and the longer it is keeped, the less nutrients remain. Preservative is even worse, it can cause cancer in human and other digestive-related diseases. Last but not least, when people don't have to cook much, many tend to not know how to cook these days. They become more and more used to the way of buying pre-cooked food and eating drive-in food. It makes them forget the neccessity of cooking. This might result in a new generation that is too-depending on those kind of foods.
In conclusion, because of the food preparation evolution, we can prepare food faster, enjoy more variety of foods, and have more time to do something else. Nevertheless, many people don't realize that “In the goods, there is the bads.” What people should do is to take the goods and avoid the bads. People can enjoy the convenient life-style but should not fail to be aware of what they eat and it effects on their own health. There is no deny that the progress of food preparation has a significant change on our society. Yet, as long as people still cannot control what they eat and be on a healthy diet, it is cannot be said that our society has been improved along with the progress of food preparation.
