Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
One of the dramatic changes of our life is that time spending on food preparation have been significantly decreased since industry revolution. Most people think this change improved people’s living standard. Meanwhile, some criticize on this change also exist. As far as I am concerned, this change does impact our life on both sides: positive and negative but its merits overweigh its negative effects. I would like to illustrate my points as follows:
Does this change improved the way people live? The answer is yes. The change improved people’s life in many aspects. In the past, people spend a lot of time to prepare a meal for the family. People have to clean, chop, fry when making a dish. In addition, people have to use coal or wood to get fire for cooking. All these are time consuming. However, nowadays people can get fresh and clean vegetable, even ready to cook stuffs from supermarket; people also can use carious cooking facilities to cook food, for example, macro-wave stove, electrical rice cooker, by this way people can save a lot of time on cooking. When I was a child my grandmother would cook rice for our dinner even one hour before dinner time. There are many complicated stages to finish cooking rice: first steam, then pour out and adding some water with rice, and then steam again…For me, cooking rice seemed to be a tough task. When we began to use rice cooker, cooking rice was just two steps: first, put rice and water in the cooker, second, push the button. How fast and convenient it is!
However, some people claim that ready to cook food from supermarket are not health and not taste good. The change did damage the way people live in some ways. It is getting harder for people to get fresh and hand-food that is more tasty and more healthy. That is way many hand-made food stores are so popular despite the higher price. Moreover, people think it is getting hard for family members to gather during dinner time because every family member may cook for themselves just using macro-wave and frozen food from refrigerator. Cooking have not been a cozy and good time for family member to cooperate, chat and enjoy together as it had been in old days.
Although I also agree with the above negative concerns about this change, I still keep my point that generally speaking easier food preparation did improve people’s life in a dramatic way.
