Although
 the pre-pared
food
 is thought to be a great solution for the lack of the time for cooking in the high-speed life according to some opinions, other are convinced that it can be detrimental. In my opinion, I consider that the convince
food
 can bring more health problems, even so it has a few advantages. Admittedly, there are some basic benefits of consuming semi cooked meals.
Firstly
, it's by far cheaper to buy a frozen pizza or a pasta rather than to cook your own. As current research has shown that the price for convenience
food
 is lower by 57% compared to the cost of the homemade dishes.
Secondly
, at the age of the globalization, many people have got less free time, as a consequence, they haven’t got the opportunity to cook
food
.
For instance
, according to the latest survey, 45% of full-time worker would refuse from pre-pared
food
, if their working day was shorter.
Lastly
, there isn’t necessary to store, buy and plan the ingredients for the individual dishes, while you buy almost the cooked meals.
Nevertheless
, despite upsides of the convenience
food
 mentioned above
,
Accept space
,
I believe that people could face up with serious drawbacks. One potential problem is a health hazard from the semi cooked
food
, as it contains the chemicals and preservatives. The latest publication of WHO (World Health Organization) has shown that one of the factors, which causes the cancer is consuming unhealthy, long-storage
food
.
Furthermore
, eating frozen
food
 can lead to the overweight, what is dangerous for the body. As an example, 67% of the USA teenagers suffer from the obesity, while they tend to eat only the fast-
food
 or the convenience
food
. To summarize, while there are minor advantages of pre-pared
food
, I strongly believe that the disadvantages far outweighs them.
