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?

People are very busy nowadays.
This
fast-paced life has led to a shift in dietary consumption. Artisanal foods and culinary traditions have been left behind, and modern dishes have established themselves

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.
Secondly
, technological advancements have
also
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
such
as refrigerators, washing machines, and microwave ovens.
Therefore
, new ways of cooking have replaced the long-established ways of handling food.
Further
, 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.
Also
, improvements in the logistics and procurement systems of supermarkets have allowed them to compete, on cost, with the local outlets – the small mom-and-pop stores and wet markets for fruits, vegetables, and all other products. There

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.
