Hi, your writing is ok, but your vocabulary is pretty basic. I don't thing your reasons were very convincing. You need more details and more examples. I would not mention the disadvantages and only focus on supporting your argument. I would rate this essay a 3 out of 5.

If in the past, it took a lot of time to prepare food. Today it become easier and easier. But some people deem that it is bad to prepare food in a short period of time. Of course there are advantages and disadvantages. I think it is good to prepare light {light means low calorie} foods. My arguments for this point are listed as the following. {instead of this sentence, give a brief summary of your reasons}
First, many years ago, especially women [especially] spent a lot of time in the kitchen to prepare food. For example, in our cuisine there are[is] not a meal which is [able to be] prepar[ed] in a short time. So my mom spend[s ] much time for cooking. If she is not[did not have to], she could learn new skills. In addition, because of house work{one word} she does not work much time as she wants. {do you mean she has another job outside of the home? This is unclear}
Second, nowadays technology has improved greatly and if you do not want to waste time, you can buy frozen foods, {new sentence} just put it in a microwave and in a few minutes it is ready.
There are disadvantages also to eat[ing] fast food such as burger[s and] pizza. Some people says that easi[ly] prepar[ed] food is unhealthy. But as far as I am concerned you can find meals which do not take so much time and in[at] the same time [are] not unhealthy. For example, you can put different vegetables in a mixer and prepare [a] salad.
In a nutshell, I agree that nowadays, food [has] become easier to prepare and [I] prefer to eat them. I think we have to evaluate our time [and choose what foods will help us optimize it].
