For instance, we can buy frozen foods in a supermarket and just prepare it in a couple of minutes, whereas before it could have taken us maybe hours to prepare this kind of meals. I would accept that this so-called improvement has changed our lives, but I believe that there are some

) h) p) d2 b- S: vNot having to cook has also taken the fun out of cooking. Cooking is an art, but in today’s world,

for a well family get-together. It was not like former times when families would sit together and  
eat freshly baked food. Instead, they are getting these artificial things with minimal nutrients in  
them.  
  
Cooking in the yesteryears was much better than today’s. People would spend more time in the kitchen, preparing the food in the way that they liked it. This brought families closer together and also contributed to the high quality and nutrition of the food. Granted, people are busier nowadays and do not have as much time as they did in the past, but I believe that people have forgotten the importance of healthy, fresh food and of the time a family spends together preparing the food. So, I would say that having food that is easy to prepare has had many disadvantages.
