day and age, more and more people prefer having a quick grab of fast

or ready-made

after an exhausting working day.
While

That is
to say, many people are going to work these days and experiencing a very sedentary lifestyle which hinders their

For example

preferences.
On the other hand
, overconsumption of fast
food
might lead to some serious health issues. It can be easily seen that ready foodstuff is not as nutritious as homemade
food
. It is shown in some studies that fast cuisine tends to contain various substances that are generally unhealthy and high in sugar, salt, saturated ingredients and many processed preservatives.
As a result
, overconsumption of
this
type of meal can cause some diseases
such
as obesity or heart problems.
Besides
, spending on quick meals will cost so much more than self-prepared
food
and might cause a family some unexpected financial imbalance. Taking both sides into account,

is undeniable that pre-packaged
food
offers both good and bad sides.
However
, after careful consideration, I believe the disadvantages can exceed the advantages.
