Traditional food is undergoing great changes and is being replaced by new diet. What do you think are the reasons and what do you think about this phenomenon?

#food #changes #diet #phenomenon
Globalisation and modern technology have changed our lifestyle immensely. Our
diet
 has
also
 altered significantly. New recipes and processes are becoming increasingly popular. I think
this
 alteration is highly negative for our health. There are many reasons for
this
 change, which
this
 essay will discuss in detail. Traditionally people like to prepare their
food
 from scratch, using fresh fruits and vegetables. All
this
 has changed enormously. Processed
food
 has taken the place of a fresh and healthy
diet
 in the kitchens.
For example
, a majority of families buy packaged and ready to eat products because they are easy to cook and less
time consuming

Thus
, a healthy and traditional
diet
 is replaced with fast and junk
food
. It means our
diet
 has become more toxic and unhealthy. There are many reasons

this

Firstly
, the whole world has become interconnected, which means individuals can eat and admire different cuisines.
That is
 why the modern
diet
 has become more of a fusion of different cultures.

 one plate, but it has encouraged the culture of takeaways and fast
food
. There are severe consequences of
this
 phenomenon.
To begin
 with, processed
food
 contains large amounts of sugar and most of the buyers are not aware of
this
 fact. The consumption of
such
 products leads to severe disease. High sugar consumption can cause heart disease, diabetes, and other highly dangerous health issues.
Secondly
, unhealthy eating
also
 affects human brains and efficiency. So indirectly
this
 altered modern
food
 plan is affecting our well being and work power. To conclude, the traditional eating style is replaced by the modern one, which is responsible for today's health problems. We should get back to our traditional style so that we can enjoy a healthy lifestyle.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
