　　Nowadays, food has becomeeasier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specificreasons and examples to support your answer.

　　With thedevelopment of new technologies, food has become easier to prepare than everbefore. In my opinion, it brings both positive and negative influences onpeople’s lives.

　　In thefirst place, food that is easier to prepare has an obvious advantage for newgenerations, who are leading their lives in a more rapid pace. Fast-foodrestaurants such as McDonald’s exactly cater to our needs for a faster life.When I feel really hungry, traditional cooking is just too slowly. However,fast food can instantly improve my situation. As we save a large quantity oftime previously used to prepare food, we can spend our time performing moreimportant tasks, and therefore focus better on our work.

　　However,easier-to-prepare food also brings about some disadvantages to our lives.

　　Firstly,as we save more time focusing on work instead of food, we tend to feel more andmore stressed out due to the busy cycle. Our already-too-fast life pace getseven speedier, which can bring about negative psychological problems inworkers. On the contrary, traditional cooking style enables us to see therelaxing side of life, to stop and smell the roses. Also, cooking itself issometimes a relaxing process to relieve pressure from workplaces. My motherloves to cook when she’s very tired after work, from which she can retrace therelaxation she needs.

　　Secondly,as food becomes easier to prepare, we gradually lose the right to enjoytop-class cooking. Because it does not cater to people’s needs for speed aswell as fast foods does, and thus gradually decreases on the market. Many youngpeople nowadays craze for Pizza Hut, but they have no idea how traditionalhome-made pizzas taste differently and wonderfully.

　　Anotherdrawback of easy-to-prepare food is that in order to prepare food more easily,manufacturers add certain chemicals to the food which are not completelyhealthy for us. For instance, McDonald’s contains too much calories and toolittle vegetation, which will cause unbalance in people’s nutrition.
