Nowadays, the majority of individuals do not prefer to allocate their time to cooking and like to spend more money to buy ready-made
meals
. The major two reasons behind
this
 trend are hectic lifestyles and cheaper options of produced
food
 available in the market these days.
However
, I believe that
this
 preference shift from homemade
food
 to market
food
 comes with many disadvantages. Needless to say, many
people
 like to buy ready-made
meals
 from
food
 stores. The first reason for
this
 is the busy schedule of
people
 nowadays.
For example
, many workers who work in corporate firms have hectic daily routines
due to
 which they may not have sufficient time and energy to cook at home.
As a result
, these
people
 tend to spend money on produced
food
 even though they do not want to. The second reason for
this
 trend is the availability of numerous ready-made
food
 options in the market which lures many eaters to buy these
products
.
In addition
, most
food
 manufacturing companies are selling their
products
 at a lower cost which
also
 restricts
people
 from preparing their
meals
 at home.
However
, I strongly oppose the preference of buying ready-made
food
 items.
Firstly
,
although
 these
products
 are cheaper, they still have more side effects on the
health
 of consumers as compared to homemade
food
.
Secondly
, many companies mix artificial chemicals in their
products
 to increase the shelf life of manufactured
food
 which impacts the
health
 of consumers.
For instance
, in 2018, the World
Health
 Organisation banned the ice cream
products
 of the Amol Company because they found harmful chemical
products
 in these
products
 which have been impacting the
health
 of kids.
Lastly
, even though hand-made
food
 requires more time than buying ready-made
products
, it is still way more organic and healthy.
To conclude
,
although
 several eaters are willing to buy fast-
food
products
 owing to either their hectic routines or attraction to cheaper
products
, I think that the demerits of produced
food
 outnumber the merits of these
meals
 in all aspects.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
