The rise of convenience foods has helped people keep up with the speed of the modern life style. What are the advantages of this trend? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? Give your opinion.

The growth of

convenience

foods has assisted them to be at the same pace as the modern lifestyle. In my opinion,

although

there are few benefits of it

such

as it requires less preparation

time

and is a low-cost

food

, the drawbacks that it has a more detrimental effect on our health outweighs the advantages. One of the main pros of

convenience

foods is that it is extremely quick to prepare, requiring no lengthy pre-preparation steps,

for instance

, marination of the meat or resting the dough.

In other words

, the

food

, in the big factories, is prepared in

such

a manner that it is almost ready to eat and simply requires to be either fried or heated in some cases.

For example

, ready to eat pasta needs to be added to warm water and stirred for a few minutes, before it ready to be consumed, helping people save

time

in cooking

food

so that they can dedicate their

time

in other chores. The

second

major benefit is that it has a low cost price, which makes it an ideal modern-day

food

. Since the

food

is prepared in big factories in huge amounts, it is comparatively cheaper than the

food

available in restaurants.

For instance

, ready to eat pasta may cost almost one-

third

of what it may cost in a restaurant. Another benefit is that it can be preserved for a longer period.

However

, these preservatives have a negative effect on our health, making it not advisable to be consumed regularly. In conclusion, the

convenience

food

has assisted people in keeping up with the world. Despite being cheap and requiring less preparation

time

, the

convenience

food

contains harmful preservatives,

thus

I believe the advantages do not outweigh the disadvantages. It would be recommended that the preservatives be reduced to make it healthy.
