Consumer goods have become the most important part of people’s life. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? Consumer goods have become the mainstay of people’s living.  
This
 essay is an attempt to study the advantages and disadvantages and provide a conclusion. In today’s fast paced world, consumer goods are a boon to humanity.  
Firstly
, they are available in all categories ranging from automobiles, furniture, household appliances etc.  While they make life easy and comfortable, they do not cost an arm and a leg and are generally affordable.  
For instance
, one can cook up a pre cooked meal to satisfy hunger or reach any far off place in no time by taking a vehicle or perform all household chores
such
 as laundry, dish cleaning, sweeping and mopping at the click of a button of the washing machine, dish cleaner, and vacuum cleaner respectively.  
Hence
,
this
 definitely leaves some room for an individual to pursue their hobbies or passions, which leads to better living standards.
However
, consumer goods have their drawbacks as well.  
This
 results in obesity and other ailments
such
 as cardiac problems, diabetes, joint aches, respiratory issues etc.    
This
 isolation is known to cause depression tendencies in individuals.  Excessive usage of automobiles is fast depleting our natural resources
such
