The hustle and bustle life has resulted in increasing demands placed on a kind of food that needs little preparation and can be used at any time. Some people now fear that the prevalence of convenience food will pose a threat to the availability of traditional cuisine. However, in my point of view, I am strongly convinced that despite some obvious benefits this type of food may bring, this fear will never come into reality.
To begin with, convenience foods prove useful when it comes to time and money. It is in disputable that the contemparily high inflation may induce every individual to work over time and reduce monthly expenditure. By means of convenience foods can they probably save a large amount of their time. For instance, thanks to the advance in technology such as microwave and electronic oven, a sophisticated ready – prepared meal could be made in first a few minutes. Additionally, this kind of food are becoming increasing cheaper, thereby appealing to a huge population in need of saving money.
In spite of the common knowledge of the utility of convenience foods, they will probably never conquer the food markets due to growing mass media which disseminate the high value of traditional cuisine. Thesedays, there are more recreational programmes related to traditional cooking process which may not only attract a majority of observers but also encourages them to follow these long – lasting methods. A case in point is Master chef, which present a severe competition among professional cookers. The impressive skill as well as good looking of the meal may inspire the TV watchers to try these foods. As a result, the traditional foods and their preparation approaches can have opportunity to be upheld and developed.
Apart from the assistance of media, traditional cuisine is representative of a nation’s culture which is know for its long – standing spirits. For example, in some special occasion traditional foods are indispensable in every household, without which the festival’s marked feature may fade away.
To conclude, no matter how advantageous convenience food may be, it will never take place of traditional foods along with their preparation steps because of the significant surge in social media and the firm awareness of upholding the national cultural beauty. It is recommended that people should only resort to convenience foods in sticky circumstances in order to contribute to maintaining the traditional cuisine.
