[Swsr]

Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Nowadays life is rapidly growing with both men and women taking up challenges in career. When people bury themselves into the work researching, meeting deadlines etc, they find no time to spend in the kitchen trying out various dishes as the home makers do. This is where the easier preparation of food was introduced. And this has improved the lives of working people in some ways and is also a risk in other ways as explained in the following examples.

Most of the supermarkets sell readymade mixes that would not need much time for preparation. For example, the gas, responsible for igniting the flame on the stove, depletes all of a sudden. And this gas is available only after a week then the only option is to use readymade mixes with microwave oven and electric cooker. There are a lot of such mixes that enable people to cook a variety of food items in a short span of time. On the one hand it helps the people in saving time.

On the other hand, consuming food made from these readymade mixes is not always good for health. We do not know what kinds of preservatives are stored in order to store them in a course of time. These preservatives may or may not be harmful to health. Hence if a study is taken between working people and home makers, it would be evident that working people are prone to health problems than home makers. In this case, this change may be a risky to the health.

We also find that there are many chopped vegetables found in the markets. This method of not cutting vegetables at home is a boon for many working people. But on looking at the other side, these chopped eatables may not be fresh for a long time. Fresh vegetables that are not chopped have more food value than the chopped ones which lose their food value gradually. Consumption of these may not give any nutritional value and as an outcome, it can not be considered a healthy food overall.

Hence I conclude saying that easier preparation of food have their pros and cons. While it might have improved the ways people live, it also questions the healthier intake of food. After all the main purpose of living life is to eat and for this proper care needs to be taken to consume good food instead of junk or any other methods as mentioned above and people need to take time off their busy schedules.

This again is a pretty good essay that has not been closely reviewed by yourself. You are doing yourself a great injustice in not reviewing carefully. You have great potential, don't squander it by only doing half-hearted work.

Kitos.
