People work hard to fulfill their principal necessities, and food is the
one thing that is really important to their survival. Although sometimes belied
by other things that seem important, food is the core objective that drives all
people to work. But the outcome of the efforts of these people is not a direct
supply of food; rather it is in the form of money. Thus these people use the
money they obtain to prepare their food. In old days, preparing food was
cumbersome and timeconsuming work for those who do it solely for eating
purposes. This kind of preparing food in due tie could not comply with the kind
of life people lead today. The use of technological advancement makes preparing
food practical even for the clumsiest person. This helps a great deal for those
who work against time to make their living. It also avoids the waste of
considerable amount of money from hiring a cook.
The development in the preparation of food is highly effective for those
people who have no know how of it. A person who does not know how to prepare
his/her own food would go to a restaurant or some other place where food is
served everyday. But with the advanced food preservation technology, now he is
free, completely independent of restaurants and other places. He can prepare his
own food and enjoy the feeling of "home, sweet home".
For people at work, life has just become easy for them. They will not have
to worry all day long about what they are going to prepare for their supper.
They can fully concentrate on their jobs, and work with a mind full of peace. In
general this new way of preparing food has helped those who are concerned about
their daily meals -- almost everyone. Not only that, it would enlighten those
who are frustrated with their jobs just because of the worry of that tiresome
work -- preparing food.

Recent technological advancements have changed the way people live
radically. They have also made food easier to prepare - fast foods and preserved
foods are everywhere.
The days when cooking of food was a major errand of the day have long
become the past. Nowadays it's only a matter of minutes to cook food. However
this improvement does not come without a price.
The most important loss we suffer due to these fast foods is quality. These
fast foods are lower in nutritional value and contain less minerals and
vitamins. Further they have high calories that result in weight gain, and that
in turn leads to heart diseases and other problems. Further, they have added
flavors, colors and preservatives that are not always very helpful to our
health.
These preserved food have also taken away the natural taste and benefits of
fresh foods from our lives. We now depend upon artificial flavorings to make a
fish taste like a fish. However we cannot get the natural taste of fresh foods
from preserved foods.
We have lost the fun of cooking because of these fast foods. Cooking used
to be an art and people enjoyed cooking and the satisfactions they got by
cooking a tasty meal. Further, cooking is the time when family membersgathered
and enjoyed their time together. However with less time devoted to cooking, the
chances for such meals are now rare.
All these illustrations point out that although fast foods and preserved
foods are unavoidable in today's busy world, we must not totally neglect the
advantages of fresh foods. We must sometimes take time with our families to
prepare a delicious meal and enjoy it together with the ones we love the
most.

Food has always been the one of the greatest wants of humankind. It has
influenced almost every step that humankind has taken. The search for food is
the essence of life. Therefore if food is easier to get and prepare it is a real
boon to humankind. Food is the most important of the three basic amenities of
life (water, food and shelter). Though it can be argued that water is the
sustenance for any life form, food is more important because if you do not have
water you will surely die. But if you are left with a scarcity of food it will
lead to a very sickly and torturous life. Nutritious food is very essential for
life, food has been the cause of many a battle. Thus if food was easier to
prepare it will take away from the mind of the humankind a great burden. Though
the preparation of food becoming easier is considered a great blessing for
humankind. The sudden rise in processed and canned food and all the junk food
that one gets over the counter is not totally a boon. People who are so busy
that they are not able to spend time to prepare their food, develop a liking for
these ready-to-eat junk food. Though it might be thought of as a great way to
save time, this is a shortsighted idea that could actually lead to a world of
harm. Because one must understand that even though junk food saves us a lot of
time, the nutritional value of the food is not so good. In reality the
preservatives used in these foods are often found to be toxic in nature. Hence
it defeats the purpose it is supposed to serve i.e., to provide nutritional
value.
Moreover since people do not take time to prepare food, the art of cooking
is slowly vanishing. Actually cooking is a good way of releasing pressure that
builds up from our professional commitments. Cooking can easily provide relief
from all the tensions that prevail in our life. In the past family weekend get
together was considered to be a good time to know each other and they used to
spend time cooking food for the entire family. They used to exchange recipes and
it was a way of rewinding after thehard weeklong labor. Thus this junk food has
denied the human kind of one of humankind's oldest arts. It could even be termed
as a retrograde step in human culture. Therefore I believe though the processed
food has made the preparation of food much easier, it is not a good step for
mankind.
