Model Answer 2:
Most of the food items that were hard to prepare and restricted to
experienced chefs are now easily available off the shelf or are made easy to
prepare with modern recipes. But like any other thing, this also has its
advantages and disadvantages.
Firstly, most of these foods are high in saturated fats and eventually leads to obesity. They cannot become substitute to our staple diet that is still not so easy to prepare due to nature of its cooking methods. For example, for most of the Indians, the staple diet includes combination of Indian breads, pulses and curries. It is not possible to make it much easier even using modern equipment or methods. Secondly, most of the easy to prepare food items either have very little shelf life or they need to be kept frozen (or both). Thus they cannot match the nutrition of freshly prepared traditional home food.
Having said that, these easy to prepare food items are a boon to students or other people, who stay away from home. They are definitely better that eating in restaurants or street food. Although not as good as home food, they definitely purpose the purpose to get “home like” food. Also, most of these food items come with handy instructions and pre-mixed ingredients. With simple instructions, anybody can cook most of the recipes now. This has life easier for many across the globe.
With advent of easy availability of raw ingredients, it has not become much easier to cook recipes at home that was previous possible to cherish in high end restaurants. For instance, the Italian pastas, which requires many types of sauces, is now easy to prepare at home and all these sauces are now just a call away from a local grocery shop.
In conclusion, this is a much welcomed and positive change and it has definitely improved our lives.

Model Answer 3:
Over the past decade, the food industry had tremendous growth and
improvements. This, together with technological advancements, has made it much
easier to prepare food and cook at home.
Ready-made meals bought frozen or canned form the shops is a great life saver for those who work, since all that is needed is to defrost or open the can and enjoy. Although this is a method of preserving all the goodness, but freshly prepared food is definitely better for health. Many of the vitamins and minerals may be lost during the freezing or canning process.
Technology on the other hand has speeded up the food preparation process. Kitchen aid tools such as electric choppers and grinders reduce the entire work load and the food can be prepared at the blink of an eye. Not only it requires less effort compared to the past, but it also saves time, which can be put to other tasks.
The other technological advancement that has helped with food preparation is microwave ovens. This device benefits from short waves that can penetrate food easily and thus cook or warm the food very quickly. In spite of being a huge advancement and saving on time and energy, long term studies and scientific evidence are not supporting the use of such devices and they are being blamed for at least minor risks if used on a long term daily basis.
In conclusion, the process of food preparation has become much easier nowadays and this has had both positive and negative effects on our lives. Every individual should consider wisely how to prepare their food to ensure good health.

Model Answer 4:
Food is one of the fundamental needs for the people. People are slowly
increasing passion towards the taste of the food and some people are becoming
crazy about the food .These people always require different tastes and invent
new and easy methods to prepare food. This new inventions always change the
lifestyle and let us discuss how it made the difference in our life.
Old is gold always. Certain people do not want to miss the raw taste and
use the new machinery like mixers or grinders. They want to prepare in old
style without machinery and grasp complete taste of food. Still my grandfather
never uses machinery and enjoys the raw taste.
There is other side of coin always. Now a days, people are becoming busy
and don't have time to spend much for cooking food. So they started inventing
new methods which made cooking easy. People invented new machinery like gas
stoves, induction stoves, cookers, mixers and many more. All these inventions
changed people's lifestyle. It saved people's time and people started investing
time in other activities. And these new inventions also produced good taste and
different varieties and caused dramatic change in lifestyle. I always use all
possible machinery to prepare tasty food for my family. And especially in
restaurants, chefs use latest technology to prepare tasty food and this has
changed the lifestyle too. Nowadays people can get food with whatever calories
they want in their daily life
In Conclusion, I prefer to prepare tasty food in easy methods using
latest machinery.

Model Answer 5:
Compared with people in the past, we concern far less on the preparation
of food today, thanks to the development of agriculture and scientific
technology. A fair amount of beneficial influence is occurring to us
consequently.
The first to be benefited is travellers. It has been much probable for one to carry out the plan of a trip or expedition to remote areas. As a matter of fact, a diversity types of food are designed for outdoor trips, for example, compressed biscuit. Without worrying about starving, a man can push it to the limit wherever he would like to go -- Mount Everest or South Pole.
For most common people, it has been realistic to put their energy mainly on other aspects, work or interest, rather than what to have for meals. Some prefer working all the time in order to earn as much money as they can. Others develop their interests or hobbies like sports, music instruments, or photographing. Whatever people choose to spend time on, they feel their lives are satisfying and fulfilling.
Attitude toward life matures as well. Humans are no longer bothered with preparation of food. Our focus now is to improve the standard of life: how to make things more effective? Thus, numerous significant achievements have taken place recently in every subject. Sciences and technologies, arts and humanities are swiftly striding forward, and still accelerating. Therefore, without concerning about food preparation, the pattern of human evolvement changes fundamentally.
To conclude, the benefits to both individuals and the whole human race is clearly demonstrated. And I believe that food preparation will account for even less in our life in the future.

Model Answer 6:
Advancement in the technology, such as microwave woven and rice cooker,
has provided efficient options for cooking food. This has reduced the overall
time required for cookery. Thus it is believed that this has enhanced the
lifestyle of the human being's to a greater extent. In this essay, we will
analyse how this methods allow people to spend their spare time practicing
their hobbies and provide healthy food options for the young people.
To begin with, availability of new methodologies have minimized the
cooking period making it possible for them to utilise this span for enjoying
the skills of their interest. For instance, using rice cooker usually takes
half the time when compared to the conventional gas cooking. This example
clearly shows that the individuals who prefer this cooker will manage to get
some extra idle time for them. Thus, it is obvious that this moment can be
efficiently used for improving their expertise as well as for the relaxing
purpose.
In addition, students can cook food for themselves with the aid of these
advance innovations and hence, they can feed on the healthy home-made food. A
good illustration for this is the utilisation of microwave by the bachelors who
have to stay away from the family for study or work purpose. Usage of this
microwave enables them to cook food quickly since very few steps are involved
in microwave cooking and thereby, they do not need to depend on restaurants for
food. As a consequence, health of these young people is maintained since they
will intake less amount of artificial food.
From the above examples, the benefits of easy methodologies for
preparation of the culinary are difficult to debunk. It is thus hoped that more
development will take place in regards to cooking which will ease the life of
the masses in the foreseeable future.

Model Answer 7:
Unlike earlier times, cooking as a process has become compact and facile
today. Now the question is, has this affected our lifestyle? Or is it
unbiased? Gone are those days when mother used to spend hours in hot kitchen to
cook nutritious food for her family members. Fast food being the buzzword for
today, all find little or no time to cook for themselves and family. As a
result, processed or easy to cook foods flood the market these days. However,
this has brought some dramatic changes to the quality of our lifestyles, though
with a few health concerns as discussed below.
In this era of globalization, where work and time dictates your day,
seldom does one find time to cook a full course lunch or dinner. Since both
parents work urban world witness more and more children thriving on fast foods
like burger, sandwich etc. It is natural that parents are not getting enough
time to cook more ethnic food for them; instead they work more to earn more,
thus improving their lifestyle. People find more time to spend with family than
before. An exemplification would be that of a busy office lady late from work,
prepares easy cook meal for dinner and prefers to spend time from kitchen with
children. The improvement in the system would be a stronger family bonding!
Likewise, a student finds these easy foods a real boon during their hostel days
when both time and skill to cook are scanty.
Travelers are other category who admires easy to prepare meals, as
cooking during a picnic or a business tour would be cumbersome. This also
facilitates more family picnics and outing together. A quick breakfast
like an egg sandwich would be the best buy for a viva student on that given
exam day! So would be it for a working mother on an office meeting day! So it
is a matter of fact, that the new trend in food preparation has had an impact
on our lifestyle. It has helped us to improve our quality of life.
Now turning on the coin, does these fast foods or easy to cook meals
pose a health threat? Many studies show a steep climb in the number of
cancerous patients in United States in recent years. One main factor considered
responsible for this is the frozen and fast foods. The burgers and
sandwiches come with a hand full of issues that can deprive you health wise.
Majority of fast foods are prepared in oil with saturated fats that can cause
problems to your body systemic circulation. Consumed on a daily basis, it can
lead you to cardiac problems even.
To conclude I would say that though it comes with a few health concerns,
easy to cook trend has definitely improvised our quality of life. Now much
depends on our conscientious to use fast foods only when it is an absolute
necessity- for example on a busy day at office!
