Technology allows food to be produced in greater quantities at lower prices. Some people believe this is a positive development, while others feel that the change is harmful. Discuss both views and give your own opinions.

Modern machine makes

food

to be made in higher numbers at reduced amounts. Quite a number of persons opine

this

as an upside trend,

however

, some people think that

this

development is dangerous. While technological advancement is advantageous for increased production of foods, and causing

deflation

, it is agreed that utilising modern

technology

in the commercialisation of

such

production may cause severe health problems in the long-term.

This

essay will explore both sides and give a concluding view.

To begin

with, the major advantage of using

technology

for producing

food

commercially is for the purpose of

deflation

.

This

is because machines have higher output and are efficient in the

food

manufacturing process, which in turn will cause the prices of

such

items to be cheaper and will influence the overall quality of life of the masses positively.

For instance

, a recent study concluded that building five new government-owned

food

manufacturing and processing plants in Germany have caused 30%

deflation

in

food

prices, which has alleviated poverty and helped to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor in their society.

On the other hand

, the danger of mass production of

food

using modern

technology

seems to be health problems. Because the process of

food

making with machine involves moving metal parts and the use of preservatives, there seems to be an increased risk of people taking ill to life-threatening sicknesses like cancer.

For example

, a recent survey concluded that 70% of cancerous patients were sick because they did not eat any reasonable amount of natural foods.

This

is problematic because even though the commercially produced foods are cheaper, they are not usually as nutritive as natural raw foods, thereby causing a plethora of people who eat

such

foods to be unhealthy with time. In conclusion, while the positive trend of producing foods for commercial purpose with modern

technology

is to drive

deflation

, it is agreed that

such

an approach to

food

making is perhaps detrimental to the health of people because of the possibility of ingesting unwanted harmful substances and they are usually less-nutritive

in contrast

with natural foods.
