Nowadays people live their lives in a hurry. People require convenience, rapid management for everything in their daily lives including food matter. Thus, the way people consume food has changed. Consequently, people tend to consume more frozen food which requires less time in preparing.
Freezing is one of the food preservation methods which has been practiced for generations. The food is stored under very low temperature to prevent the growth of bacteria to provide longer food shelf life while maintaining its taste, freshness, and nutrition. The frozen products are popular in various parts of the world for instance, America, Europe, and Japan. For Thailand, this category of food becomes more popular consumers few years ago.
I and my friend often bring frozen food for our lunch at the office but some people say it is not good for our health. Many people are reluctant to consume frozen food because of additives and food packages may cause the environmental problem. However, I think that frozen food is an attractive choice for the modern lifestyle since it offers time and money saving, convenience, a perfect calorie control, and dependable production control system. Sometimes, food at restaurants or markets may not as clean as we expect.
To avoid unhealthy menus, we can study ingredients on the label. However, I think the law passed to regulate the information on labels must be enforced by the government. Manufacturers should not show merely general information but also the nutrition facts on labels. Thus, people can choose the most appropriate diets to meet their requirements and lifestyle.
I agree with you that food containers may cause environmental problem; the manufacturers should develop their products to be more friendly to the environment such as paper containers or biodegradable containers.
ReplyDeleteI often have frozen food for lunch as well. I think it's convenient and tasty. However, eating frozen food for a long time may bring about health problems such as malnutrition. Therefore, the consumer shouldn't eat frozen food too often and eat more freshly cooked food.
I prefer to have fresh and hot meal, but if there is no choice for me at that time. Frozen food in convenience store would help me from starving.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly that frozen food in these days are not boring as they used to be. There are plenty of choices in the supermarket for appetizer, main course and dessert. Most of the well know dishes from each country become easy to taste from people in another continent.
Time changes, our way of life has been changed. There are many factors impact on our consuming style. Fast food becomes a popular meal, filling our energy up in second. Of course, it’s cheap with 24 hours convenience stores where we can find it easily. It tends to give us more fat and calories as well.
ReplyDeleteI accept that I always have a fast food in the morning time because we may lose so much energy during sleeping time. Our body needs to replenish by such energy as well.
However, eating a fast food over a long period of time leads to a health problem, we sometimes switch consuming a fresh food which full of nutrition.
