These days, the number of
instant
foods
is increasing
due to
their
convenience
. It helps
people
to have a faster lifestyle in the modern era. There are some advantages and disadvantages of eating fast food.
There are several advantages of
instant
foods
which are popular nowadays.
Firstly
, it saves a lot of time because
people
do not need to go to a
market
to buy ingredients for cooking, even if they do not need to cook anymore. They just need a microwave and it might just take around 3 minutes.
Secondly
, eating
convenience
foods
spends money,
this
is because
people
can avoid buying ingredients at a
market
as well as
some
people
might go to a
market
by car which they need to buy petrol for their car.
For example
, my mom often asks me to escort her to the
market
by car and we always pay for petrol at $20,
then
we go to the
market
and spend around $200 for a week.
Whereas
my friend always buys an
instant
noodle and it costs just $1 which is much cheaper and faster to be served.
On the other hand
, there are some disadvantages to these
foods
.
Instant
foods
are unhealthy because they consist of a chemical material which is harmful to
people
's health. In fact, there are many cancer cases
due to
eating fast
foods
such
as fried chicken and
instant
noodles.
In addition
, the more
people
produce
convenience
foods
, the more plastic waste they make because most of them are wrapped in plastics and it can be harmful to the environment.
For example
, as we know many
people
like eating "Indomie" because of its taste and
convenience
, lots of
people
buy them in a supermarket and almost all the population in Indonesia eat them regularly and which causes the growth of plastic waste.
Finally
,
instant
foods
lack protein, vitamins, and nutrition.
Therefore
many kids are in a crisis of nutrition which can lead to bad health
as well as
the brain. These kinds of
foods
are bad for the next generation and the future.
In conclusion,
while
there are several advantages of eating
instant
cuisines in terms of spending time and money, there are more disadvantages on it in terms of harm to health, more plastic waste, and lack of nutrition.
