Convenience foods will become increasingly prevalent and eventually replace traditional foods and methods of preparation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The modern era has improved our lifestyle from fashion, communication even the way we eat and what kind of
food
we consume. Nowadays, the trend of convenience
food
is higher than traditional food
, this
phenomenon makes convenience
food
becomes more popular because it's also
easier to find and get.
Some people
tend to consider convenience
food
as a well-trodden path especially if they are in hurry. They believe consuming convenience
food
is more simple and their promising packaging makes it looks hygienic. Besides
, people
can find those kinds of food
in convenience
stores located in ubiquitous places, hence
it makes them become more acquainted with this
lifestyle. For example
in Indonesia, people
tend to have breakfast on the way office by eating bread from convenience
stores than eating traditional food
like Serabi or Gado-Gado. This
choice is made to get faster solutions in having breakfast.
On the other hand
, the popularity of convenience
food
has decreased people
's interest in traditional foods. Traditional food
can be healthier than conventional food
, but people
look for fast food
than nutritious one. For example
, traditional food
in Indonesia like Serabi, Gado-Gado, Lotek and etc, are prepared longer than convenience
food
, that's why people
see them as a not simple option to have breakfast.
Basically, convenience
food
is made in a factory with lots of mixed ingredients. There are made to be expired much longer than traditional food
. Therefore
, we can identify at a glance that the methods of preparation in convenience
food
are not healthy and risky to consume too much. For example
, convenience
food
contains a preservative that is
not safe for our bodies in the long term period.
Related to the situation, I believe that convenience
food
has replaced the popularity of traditional food
. Modern people
tend to buy convenience
food
because it matches their taste. In our society, there will always be a stereotype that traditional food
is not tasty, obsolete and dorky. In consequence, modern people
especially young people
are keener on convenience
food
than traditional food
.
In a nutshell, it can be concluded that the development of the era affects people
's lifestyle in the way they eat. Convenience
food
is more attractive because it is considered fast and hygienic compared to traditional food
which is old-fashioned and takes time too long to be prepared.Submitted by misstiasclassroom on
