Nowadays more people would rather purchase food than cook at home. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend.

Today, the number of individuals who prefer buying food

instead

of cooking is increasing. Saving a lot of

time

and money are the two main benefits of purchasing food.

However

, having fewer nutrient ingredients is the main setback. On one hand, the number of employees in major cities is getting raised. So, due to heavy duties which have to be done, most of them do not have enough

time

for cooking.

As a result

, they would like to consume fast

foods

.

For example

, in 2010, almost 67 per cent of New Yorkers were eating junk

foods

rather than traditional

foods

.

Also

, fast

foods

are affordable for individuals who do not have enough budget to buy fresh ingredients. because most of these types of

foods

are not too costly for regular

people

especially the pauper ones.

For instance

, in 2019,

people

with small wages reported they would prefer the hamburger

instead

of steak because of its price.

On the other hand

,

People

's health level is one of the most important issues of today.

Although

ready

foods

are fast and cheap enough to not be worried about our

time

and money, they would bring a lot of chronic diseases for

people

. Most of these ingredients not only do not have beneficial minerals but

also

could be the main cause of obesity which would bring an unhealthy situation for individuals.

For example

, the main reason for strokes in the age of 30 to 40 is consuming junk

foods

that are produced in harmful oils. In conclusion, the pattern of

people

's diets has been changed and most of them prefer ready

foods

which could create a situation to not spend their

time

and money on healthy

foods

.

However

,

this

situation would bring obesity or stroke for them.
