Most people prefer ready to eat ready meals rather than homemade food these days. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

In the past few years, tremendous types of ready

food

came into the market and became

people

's

first

choice. Nowadays, most

people

prefer heating frozen

food

with a microwave oven to cooking by themselves.

This

essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of

this

phenomenon. The

first

advantage of ready meals is that

people

without cooking skills can have delicious meals without going outside or spending much money on restaurants. All they need to do is to put the

food

into the microwave oven and wait. Another advantage is the speed of getting meals prepared. Most

people

are busy with their works and pleasures and cannot afford the time to cook. They only need to spend five minutes getting frozen

food

ready, rather than spending half an hour cooking.

However

, there are

also

several disadvantages.

First

of all, the ready foods can be harmful to their health. To make

food

delicious, manufacturers usually add plenty of salt and additives, which are terrible for the human body, to their products. If a person keeps eating

this

kind of

food

for more than a year, he will easily gain weight and get diabetes.

Second

of all, the fares are lack nutrition, which everybody, especially teenagers, needs. If parents only prepare

this

kind of

food

for their school-age children, their children will not have enough nutrition to grow their bodies. In conclusion, ready foods are easy and quick to prepare, but we should not overeat them because of the lack of nutrition and the harmful impact on our bodies.
