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

As time passes, a lot changes have taken part in our lives. In the past, the main concern for people was food, for instance, hunter As time has flown, we have changed also our priorities in life, and food is just one thing we have to consume in order to do the things that are our priorities now. Undoubtedly, this change has changed our lives significantly, but I would not say that the changes have improved our lives or our living standards.

First, food is not healthy, anymore. Today, it is possible to keep food fresher for a longer period of time. Yet, we have to keep in mind that it is possible only because various preservatives and artificial flavorings are added to it.

Furthermore, cooking used to be a type of art, which is now dying out. Cooking used to be a means of eliminating stress and tension. Unfortunately, the time when people were able to relax cooking food is over.

Still, there might be some people who would disagree with me saying that we have gained some more minutes of our precious time. In this case I would like to ask them a question – do you think it is really worth having unhealthy food in order to get some more time? Moreover, these spare minutes will be most probably wasted somehow, as you cannot do a lot of things in about fifteen minutes.

To conclude, I would agree that it is easier and faster to prepare food nowadays. Still, I would ask you to pay your attention to the facts that eating unhealthy food will in no way do you a favor.
