tokens: Prepared Food Nowadays, more and more people begin to select prepared food as their daily meals, since it can effectively save time which is considered as money in our modern society . However it is obvious that prepared food can bring about some negative influence result from utilizing the artificial ingredients, ignoring the nutrition of food and modifying people's eating habits . In this essay, I would like to explain why this is not a good thing based on the three reasons above . First of all, to make their food easier to prepare and taste delicious, almost every producer adds a wide range of artificial ingredients in to the food that is now purchased by most people . Some ingredients being added have caused dire consequences . For instance, there are usually some articles in newspapers and magazines which report the relationship between certain chemical components in some food and diseases . Thus, easy-to-cook foods sometimes could be dangerous for human's health . Not cooking fresh food will also lead to the lack of nutrition . It is true that cooking prepared food needs much less time in comparison with the fresh food . Whereas some research has apparently demonstrated that prepared food is unable to support enough nutrients we need, especially for children who are growing up . In addition, cooking is one of arts humans create . The more prepared food we eat the more cooking skills we lose . At the increasing living pace, the majority of people tend to choose microwave as their unique cooker that help them prepare a dish in five minutes . But rare people have been aware that this has contributed to a modification of cooking habits, which may cause the loss of our custom and culture about cooking . In conclusion, although the invention of prepared foods definitely satisfies the demand of some people who are busy in their work, it is not a good thing . Cooking is not a waste of time, contrarily, it is crucial for our health and culture .
