Some people think students should study the science of food and how to prepare it. Others think that school time should be used in learning important subjects. Discuss both views and give your opinion? Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Some individuals have canvassed that
food
science
and its preparation be given a high priority, while others have argued that academic time should be utilized for a more worthwhile course. This
essay agrees with the former view that food
science
and processing be considered an important subject of study due to their role in maintaining good health
and preventing diseases. This
essay will discuss both views.
On the one hand, proponents who argue that studying food
science
and preparation is worthless believe that there is really nothing special to study in foods. They feel that other factors such
as taste, cultural beliefs, and people
's backgrounds have much influence on the choice of food
than science
which they believe has little role to play. For example
, people
of western descent are likely to consume cholesterol-rich diets.
That being said, food
plays a pivotal role in the health
and general well-being of people
, therefore
studying its science
will go a long way to improve the health
of people
. This
is because it will fetch people
with knowledge as regards the essential nutrients in healthy food
, how best to prepare it, and what kind of foods are to be considered harmful. For example
, the health
risk associated with fattening foods are now being identified; thanks to the knowledge of science
. Thus
it is easier to prevent these health
-related problems by avoiding their consumption.
In conclusion, though, tastes and social background influence the disposition of people
to food
choice, studying the science
of food
, as well as its preparation, can help to promote good health
by fortifying one with the knowledge necessary to avoid harmful food
