The rise of convenience foods has helped people keep up with the speed of the modern life style. What are the advantages of this trend? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Contemporary lifestyle demands agility from people, in that case, the upsurge of packaged

foods

has aided people in keeping up with the fast pace of modern lifestyle. In my opinion, the fact that packaged

foods

have all facilities of as like easy accessibility and cheapness,

although

this

may be true but their disadvantages outweigh them in many ways. The

first

and most useful advantage of consuming convenience

foods

faster than others is that it is the main attractive side for employers because, mostly, they do not have much time to cook. Because thanks to the modern technology the new mobile applications,

such

as Bolt

Food

and Wolt are made more attractive, it needs several clicks to purchase any kind of

food

in nearby restaurants. And

lastly

, fast

food

is more affordable from my point of view, which is the major reason why people tend to choose them. The cost of fast

food

is very low due to the ingredients it contains and the high competition in the market.

This

saves customers both time and money, and if convenience

food

is used correctly and properly, it may be the ideal choice to keep up with modern life. It is obvious that if industrially produced

foods

are consumed in excess and unconsciously, they can lead to diseases

such

as obesity, indigestion, and heart problems. To illustrate, more than half of the American population is more prone to obesity because they prefer fast

food

to home-cooked

food

.

However

, according to the doctors, the acceptable quantity of fast

food

is not the reason for any type of illness. Another disadvantageous point is their composition because these substances are

also

food

additives and chemicals, which are present in almost all ready-made and packaged

foods

and do not create a variety of flavours. All in all, over-consuming packaged

foods

have brought around some health problems and include a number of extra ingredients that are considered drawbacks, despite they have some advantages point.
