Technological and scientific advances are changing the food people eat. Some believe that these are changes can be harmful to the health of the people. Others challenge this. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Technology is flourishing by leaps and bounds in all fields, especially in the

food

sector

. A section of society thinks that technology in the

food

sector

would affect negatively human well-being .

However

, others opposed

this

by saying that these advancements are helpful for people. I personally believe that having

such

kind of progress in the

food

sector

would be harmful to the public as

this

may affect the overall health of mankind. In

this

essay, I will discuss both sides of the notions with relevant examples.

First

of all, there are a plethora of detrimental effects of changing

food

habits as altered

food

would not be digestible to some. To be more precise, in

this

type of

food

, manufacturers may use some sorts of chemicals that would prevent

food

to get expired.

For example

, a recent survey found that 67% of people are suffering from disastrous health problems and the main reason, they have found the considerable amount of oil

that is

used in order to improve the shelf-life of any packed

food

.

Hence

, they can catch some chronic diseases

such

as high levels of cholesterol, obesity, arthritis and so on.

On the other hand

, some pessimistic people think the opposite of the above view. As they are supporting the entrance of technology into the

food

sector

, and think that it can bring an abundance of benefits. As we know, life is really hectic these days, and if they have genetically modified

food

to eat, they can preserve it in their fridges for a longer period of time. As a consequence, they can eat it according to their convenience.

For instance

, in Japan, the majority of folks have adopted a habit to eat prepared

food

as they do not have much time to cook at home. In conclusion,

although

there are some benefits of genetically modified

food

to the public, in my opinion,

this

kind of

food

may impact badly on consumers' health and sometimes would become lethal.
