More and more people are opting for readymade food instead of freshly cooked food. Does this practice has more advantages than disadvantages? Discuss.

It is certainly true that the

food

industry has changed the eating and cooking habits of people. Owing to

this

, many people prefer to eat canned

food

rather than cooking in their kitchen using fresh vegetables. In my opinion,

this

trend has only a few advantages, but on the greater side, people are compromising with their

health

and taste for the little comfort. One obvious advantage of packaged

food

is that it has saved time of people that was

initially

spent in the kitchen for preparing

food

. In Asian countries, specifically ladies have to prepare

food

for the whole family and she has to spend more of his day in preparing three times of meal and left with less or no time for other activities of their interest and after sometimes, due to

this

monotonous life, they start feeling mundane.

Therefore

, ready-made

food

has made their life relaxed and more comfortable.

However

, ready-made packaged

food

is unhealthy for people if consumed regularly because chemicals and preservatives are added in it to make it consumable for a long time, which ultimately have detrimental effects on the

health

of individuals.

Hence

,

this

is the major reason for today's lifestyle diseases

such

as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, cancer and any more.

Moreover

, packaged

food

is less tasty than freshly prepared

food

, because it loses the natural aroma of ingredients and spices that were used to prepare

food

. To conclude, canned

food

has provided ease and convenience for busy people, but it has

also

brought many

health

issues on the

health

of the general public. So in my opinion,

this

trend has more disadvantages than advantages
