The twentieth century has brought with it many advances. With those advances,human lives have ch
anged dramatically. In some ways life is worse, but mostly itis better. Changes in food preparation methods, for example, have improved ourlives greatly.
The convenience of preparing food today is amazing. Even stoves have gottentoo slow for us. Microwave cooking is much easier. We can press a few buttonsand a meal is completely cooked in just a short time. People used to spend hourspreparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can use that time for other, betterthings. Plus, there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods we can buy.Heat them in the office microwave, and lunch at work is quick and easy.
Food preparation today allows for more variety. With refrigerators andfreezers, we can preserve a lot of different foods in our homes. Sincetechnology makes cooking so much faster, people are willing to make severaldishes for even a small meal. Parents are more likely to let children be picky,now that they can easily heat them up some prepackaged macaroni and cheese onthe side. Needless to say, adults living in the same house may have verydifferent eating habits as well. If they don't want to cook a lot of differentdishes, it's common now to eat out at restaurants several times a week.
Healthful eating is also easier than ever now. When people cook, they use newfat substitutes and cooking sprays to cut fat and calories. This reduces therisk of heart disease and high cholesterol. Additionally, we can buy fruits andvegetable fresh, frozen or canned. They are easy to prepare, so many of us eatmore of those nutritious items daily. A hundred years ago, you couldn't imaginethe process of taking some frozen fruit and ice from the freezer, adding somelow-fat yogurt from a plastic cup and some juice from a can in the refrigerator,and whipping up a low-fat smoothie in the blender!
Our lifestyle is fast, but people still like good food. What new foodpreparation technology has given us is more choices. Today, we can prepare foodthat is more convenient, healthier, and of greater variety than ever before inhistory.
