This is A question to see has it really chang our lifes.
How has Technology change the way people eat?
God YES! The development of refrigeration has enabled us to keep fresh food fresh longer. Convection cooking, Microwaves have both made cooking easier and shorter.
Another way to look at it is, here in the States, we have GIGANTIC grocery stores offering all sorts of meats, cheeses, produce, dairy and bread items. We don't even think of going to the grocery on a daily basis, or the bakery, or the butcher anymore. Kind of sad, but kind of great too.
How has Technology change the way people eat?
before fridges most meat was cured by smoking/salting. This meant you often had to soak it for hours before eating so it made preparing meals laborious.
No microwave, no canned food, no preprepared meal because no fridge. All meals were made from scratch the hard way - often took hours.
It sure has!
Because of technological development, society doesn't have to prepare meals. In our fast paced lives we can purchase precooked this and precooked that. We can buy full meals frozen, in boxes, in cans, from restaurants. If we don't have time to eat, no problem, just grab a %26quot;Slim Fast diet shake%26quot;.
Microwaves, refrigeration, plus all the modern machinery in the manufacturing plants, plus all the new additives to keep food lasting forever have contributed to the ability for society to 'eat on the run'.
What do we have for it - a higher level of heart-attacks, and obesity related illnesses, more stress, less relaxed and down time for family and friends, lots of carbs, too much cholesterol ... Not only that, everyday on the news we find out that maybe this causes cancer or maybe that causes cancer, don't eat this or watch this food.
Maybe all this technology is not so good. Do kids go out and %26quot;play%26quot;? How many kids play 鈥?play with computer games, watch TV and need to be entertained rather than really go and 'play'? No play - fat kids, Fast foods - fat kids, already prepared foods - fat kids, all the Snacks - fat kids.
Thanks for reading.
