More and more people are choosing to eat ready-made meals rather than freshly cooked food. Does this trend have more advantages than disadvantages?

Since people in our modern society became busier and they tend to be too independent on ready-made meals that can be time-saving for busy adults.

However

, I do not believe that the benefits of ready-made

food

outweigh the drawbacks. On the one hand, it is undeniable that the ready-made

food

is easy to keep in the fridge and

last

longer than cooked

food

. Cup noodles,

for instance

, are widely accepted for busy people who have no time and energy to cook after work.

Additionally

, those foods are

also

cost-effective and spent less money than cooking from the scratch.

Consequently

, more people tend to overuse them in daily basis.

Similarly

, even children can cook them by heating in the micro oven,

as a result

, they can feed themselves when needed without their parents.

However

, despite the upsides of the ready-made

food

, most people are ignorant what the ready-made meals contain. In fact, they have many kinds of chemical contents to keep the product in the best condition to prevent them from going bad. These chemicals can be injurious to human bodies if they consume those continuously, while freshly cooked meals do not harm people the way the ready-made

food

does. Another concern is that the ready-made

food

is not as nutritious as freshly cooked

food

. Freshly cooked

food

,

on the other hand

, still keeps vitamins' forms, whilst frozen

food

often lose the vitamins in the freezing process. To sum up,

although

the ready-made

food

can save busy people's time and easy to to cook, they can be harmful to human bodies and not as healthy as the freshly made

food

.

Therefore

, I do not believe that the positives of the trend outweigh the negatives.
