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.
People have been concentrating on their health since the history was started. They have used a new word ‘Well-being’ to show off how much they think about their. After then, they started to be focus on a slow food. A fast food was the symbol of harmfulness. I think a fast food doesn’t have only bad things but has some benefits to society. There are three reasons: diversity, development of medical science, and big change of the time value between the past and now.
The first reason is a fast food can make a menu diverse. People can make many sorts of fast foods for a microwave oven now. However, people couldn’t control even fire a long time ago. After getting how to control it, their menu has been diversified a lot. Nowadays, people invented a microwave oven. Since they invented it, people have been making new foods that can be cooked in a short time.
Some people are worrying about the risk of a microwave food. They think it could be harm to their health because it contains a lot of antiseptic to prevent to be gone. However, a medical science has been rapidly developing a lot. The science can figure out which ingredient is harmful. If the speed of fast food invention is over the speed of the science development, the science will not figure it out, but the science figure it out soon. Every decision has a risk at least one. If the risk is possible to be controlled, the decision should be right. The risk of fast food can be controlled by the medical science.
The third reason is that the value of a second has been changed a lot. In the past, people couldn’t make a lot of things in a second. It means they didn’t have to care about a second, so they had enough time to enjoy slow food. However, people can make a lot of things in a second now. For example, a fund manager can make a lot of money in a second, and an announcer can get fired if she/he misses an exact timing on air. The value of time in present is much more important than in the past, so fast food that people can save a lot of time can be beneficial to society.
A fast food usually contains high calories, so aspect of fat it could be harm to society. However, it’s up to each person if she/he wants to be fat or not. Some foods can be cooked in a short time although they are called to slow foods. It means there is no meaning about how long it has taken to be cooked.
