With the industrialization, inhabitants are able to cook their meals in a convenient ways due to novel electronic appliances and well-prepared ingredients on supermarket. Some citizens believe

this

has improved the quality of the daily lives. I partially agree with 

this

view because some drawbacks on people's lives have

also

been created as well.

To begin

with,

firstly

, with the assistance of electronic appliances, people spend less time in cooking today than in the past.

For example

,  ancient residents burned wood to cook rice in pots, which was less efficient as comparing with electronic cookers.

Moreover

, nowadays, inhabitants are able to purchase well-prepared meats in supermarkets

instead

of processing by themselves from poultries.

As a result

,

this

will save them a tremendous amount of time. Despite having hectic daily activities, they are still able to make healthy meals for their family. Meanwhile, they

also

have more time for personal relaxation, social interaction, family playtime, travelling, and sports activities etc. Their lives will become more colourful and the standard of lives will be enhanced.

However

, under certain situations, the quality of lives will be diminished if the inhabitants do not pay attention to select healthy ingredients or using proper cooking tools.

For instance

, using canned food to cook will enhance the convenience;

however

, the preservatives or pesticides contained in canned food will do harm for consumers' health with unlimited intake. Electric pressure cookers may

also

destroy proteins inside meals and may produce toxic substances which may place human beings' health in danger.

Therefore

, the change of cooking may not always benefit people.  In conclusion, without proper selections of nutrient food and safe cooking devices, people may expose themselves to harmful substances due to above reasons. 

Therefore

, in order to improve the quality of daily lives, people not only should select proper nutrient ingredients but

also

use proper cooking tools
