※ 引述《ypyp (牙周病)》之銘言： : Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way : people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. : To improve the way people live, various technologies have been developed : to help prepare food. However, do people really live in better way? I do not : totally agree. : First of all, preparing food too easy makes people waste more. In early : days, because of the food sources were not stable enough and preparing food : were not as convenient as nowadays, people cherished food, even a grain could : not be wasted. Today, while most places on the earth don't worry about the ^^^^^^^^ How about "people in developed regions?" : shortage of food anymore, and advance technology help to save a lot of time, : people tend to waste food more and more. So many advertisements on TV : encourage their audience to buy and eat more food, no matter they are able to : finish or not. The diet tips teach overweight people only “not always finish : everything on your plate” rather than “don’t put too much food on your : plate.” In order to ignite more consumption, people are taught to live in ^^^^^^ How about ""stimulate?" : luxury and wasted way. It is eventually harmful to the environment and people : themselves. For example, overhunting cause many species endangered or I would rewirte the sentence "It is eventually harmful..." as "Such phenomena will deteriorate the life quality of people and even biology system." : extinct, unfinished food becomes huge amount of garbage, which aggravates the : garbage problem. Moreover, the wasted food itself, the energy for cooking, : delivering and garbage handling cause the energy crisis heavier. From this : point of view, food becomes easier to prepare do not improve the way people : live. : Besides, people did not use the spare time well, in most conditions, they ^^^^^ How about "free" time? : just become much busier than before. In the old days, people had to put down : their tasks, spent fixed proportion of daily time to prepare food. Although : at first glance it was not efficient, there was sufficient time for people to : get along with their families. People tended to share everything around the : dining table, and the mealtime also gave people a little space to escape from : their daily burden. Today people do not need to spend so much time for : preparing food, but this improvement often results in much more tight : schedule on job and endless working time. People do not really take advantage : of the convenient comes from easier preparing food. They just become busier : and busier with things meaningless. Contrary to expectation, as the time for : preparing food was shortened, people lost their leisure time. Thus, from the : point, the way people live again demonstrates to be not improved. : Last, sufficient and easy-obtained food combining with bad eating habit : have caused diseases of modern civilization become popular. Beyond to people's : expectation, sufficient and easy-obtained food didn’t really improve people’ : s health. On the other hand, people tend to eat too much result in fat ^^^^^^^^^ to induce? : problem. Furthermore, oily food and food with too much seasoning also induce : a lot of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, gout or high blood : pressure. Food cooked in unhealthy way also makes people more likely to get : cancer. Counter to become healthier, sufficient and easy-obtained food causes : people struggle with severe diseases. The phenomena also support that easier : preparing food does not improve the way people live. : According to the discussion above, it is clear that although food becomes : easier to be prepared, there are at least three points—resource are wasted : much more, the degraded quality of life and more popular civil illnesses— ^ than ever before : show us that the way people live doesn’t really improved. Thus, in my ^^^^^^^ showing : opinion the way people live doesn’t improve due to the easier of preparing : food. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ How about "decline"? -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.117.119.243
