3. Nowadays, with the invention of the microwave and with the popularity of fast food restaurants, food has become easier to prepare than ever. Do you think microwave ovens and fast food restaurants are beneficial to society? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
In time, there is no doubt that technology has developed and changed. In terms of that, the technology for our food has developed as well. Many people can now warm their meals in a matter of seconds. Also, fast food has had a major effect on the entire population of the quickness that they make it.
This can be good for society because the meals are made fast either with microwave or fast food. They offer convenient choices that will be a time-saver for the people who work a lot. The quickness may be good but what people consider the most is the taste. Fast food is made very tasty, compared to other home-made food. The appeal to the taste and the speed in which it is made are the factors that influence people to buy these food items. Also, microwaves are used for heating food that has gotten cold already so this is a handy device to have around the house.
Although they may have their good sides, they also have a share of bad ones. Let’s start with fast food. It is made quickly and tastes delicious but you have to take into consideration, how much fat it contains. Eating to much can get you much fatter and it also contains trans-fatty acids. Trans-fatty acids are fats that are bad for the body. Normal fat isn’t that harmful because the normal body needs a little fat but trans fat is very dangerous fat that is bad for your body. It is also expensive, compared to homemade food. The only person you can trust is yourself so you don’t even know what they put in your food. It’s a mystery. Now, let’s move on to the microwave. The microwave is used to warm cold meals but does everyone know that the UV rays it uses take away all the health from the food leaving just bad things for you.
In conclusion, they may have some good things but with the disadvantages it could be risky for your health. Although convenient, it is not right to say it’s beneficial for society since it has such a health hazard.
