our dining tables.

This

essay aims to explain the rationale behind

this

phenomenon.

Firstly

, family size is the main reason for

this

change. In the early days, there was a joint family system where one family member dedicated his time for cooking and domestic tasks. But it is almost gone and is replaced by nuclear families. With both parents working in most families, processed foods, are no doubt substituting home-cooked meals.

contributed to

this

dietary shift. Daily tasks that were once laborious engagements are presently far more manageable with the help of technological advancements. Examples are appliances

, technology has rendered our lifestyles more sedentary, and fast food is the choice of people in white-collar jobs who are frequently chasing the clock.

Thirdly

, the enormous penetration of transnational cartels throughout the developing world is

also

inextricably linked to

this

transition. Liberalization policy, commercialization, and the penetration of western markets have caused the domestic markets to take the backseat.

a myriad of negative consequences.

Firstly

, the demise of cultural norms will be inevitable. Specific techniques and practices would die out with our ancestors as the younger generation aren’t willing to learn them.

Moreover

, various ailments

such

as obesity, cardiovascular and diabetes will invade our society. Overall, I reckon that

this

phenomenon is triggered by many factors and has put our modern society in jeopardy.
