The development of food industry is producing many canned food and processed food. Many people have a philosophy that the ease of preparation food makes life more convenient. However, I strongly disagree with the above idea because the ease of food may cause health concerns for human and ruin the art of cooking.
Health problem is the first reason for my argument. Nowadays, the fast-pace living is likely to take away the time of people to cook. In addition, the technological advance in Food Industry is producing a large amount of food which is processed such as canned food, frozen food and fast food. Although these kinds of food help us time-saving to prepare, they also can lead to a great deal of fatal disease such as breast cancer, obesity and strokes. For example, in the United State of America, people are consuming a bun of canned and fast food due to the pace of live. Hence, there is a considerable number of patients who may caught such as obesity and cancer.
Vanishing the art of cooking is another justification. For some have a hearty cooking skills, cooking can be the way to relax or enjoy their life. Furthermore, cooking indicates the culture of a person or a nation. Because of the ease of food, many could become lazy to make it. This can result in the lost of special cuisine of a culture. In other words, because of the mass production of food, the consumer are eating the same taste of food. Thus, this probably ruin the special recipe. Furthermore, Those who is insufficient time to prepare food might be not enough time to enjoy dinner time which is the quality time with family members.
In conclusion, I disagree with the above idea because of fatal diseases and the vanishing of cooking culture. Therefore, although there are a large amount of processed food, I would recommend that people cook their food to preclude for health problems and to protect food art.
