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 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 luxury and wasted way. It is eventually harmful to the environment and people themselves. For example, overhunting cause many species endangered or 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 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 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— show us that the way people live doesn’t really improved. Thus, in my opinion the way people live doesn’t improve due to the easier of preparing food. -- ▽×Ｅ＝－δＢ／δｔ ∮Ｅ‧ｄｌ＝－δ（∫Ｂ‧ｄｓ）／δｔ ▽×Ｈ＝Ｊ＋δＤ／δｔ ∮Ｈ‧ｄｌ＝Ｉ＋δ（∫Ｄ‧ｄｓ）／δｔ ▽‧Ｄ＝ρ ∮Ｄ‧ｄｓ＝Ｑ ▽‧Ｂ＝０ ∮Ｂ‧ｄｓ＝０ --
