In the past people ate foods that was better for their health than people today . Food is always a hot topic for every period in human's history because we need food to satisfy our basic need -survival .And everyone likes to eat healthy and delicious food .The food tastes , raw materials and cooking methods vary from time to time and region to region .While as to view that people in the past ate healthier than people today .Different people have different sides .As far as I concerned ,i think people today are eat more healthy than people in the past .There are a lot of reasons to name . It is actually true that people in the past get the raw materials such as vegetables directly from the farmland which containing no chemicals is organic then cooked them for meals .While now most of the citizens get the raw materials for cooking from the supermarket .The vegetables of today's market may contains pesticide to keep the pests from them when they grow in the farmland .And the meat of today's supermarket make be injected into water and so on .Food safety becomes a problem of China .I think this is the main reason that some people vote for food in the past are more healthy than food today .While does it really means foods people eat today can’t provide the nutrients people need as they do in the past .The answer is definitely no . Most of people today have health awareness which makes them live in a health style .Previous people eat what they found. But nowadays people read many ingredients of food products as well as how many nutrients ,minerals and vitamins it contains ,and people select the food product according to their own needs .The balance diet of every meal of course can benefit people's health .While in the past people have no ways to balance the nutrients ,minerals and vitamins they assimilate . Moreover, In modern society especially in the office ,people are always like to talk about something about eating such as how to cook the delicious and healthy food and which food is especial good for our health such as deep sea fish oil. And people can easily find this information on the website .Thanks to the e-business and developed delivery system ,we can always buy the stuffs that good for our health from other regions even from other countries .On the contrary ,in the past ,people can only eat the food cooked in the method that prevalent in the small town they live and have no ways to make use of other food raw materials in other regions .So the life style in the past is not as healthy as now . In conclusion ,I agree that today we can eat more healthy food than the past for the nutrients balance of each meal and the convenience to get variety kinds of food . |
