Convenience foods will become increasingly prevalent and eventually replace traditional foods

Convenience foods are really poular nowadays and the question of whether they replace traditonal home-made dishes has to be considered.
First of all, this type of product is very fast to cook - you need just to heat up your pizza or put some hot water into your soup and it's ready to be eaten. If you want to cook a pizza yourself you'll have to prepare pastry, then cut all the vegetables, sausage, cheese or whatever else you put into your pizza. Then you have to wait untill it is ready. Cooking really takes time.
What is more, convenience foods are suitable for those people who spend a lot of time on the road and stay in hostels or motels. Such people usually have no place and opportunity to cook themselves.
Even for those women who do not work and stay at home taking care about their little children or aged relatives convenience foods can lend a helping hand, because sometimes a woman simply is too tired or too busy with other activities to cook something herself.
Furthermore, eating convenience foods can be a ruslt of not knowing how to cook. Lots of women nowadays do not learn cooking in their teens, but spend this time for studying, going out, searching the net and so on. As a result, when they become wives and mothers they simply do not know how to cook a cake or a soup, so they go and buy these foods from shops.
On the other hand, convenience foods are not healthy. They contain lots of preservatives, which are aimed at keeping a product fresh as long as possible. Manufacturers also add to their products cheap materials in order to spend less and earn more, so the quality of convenience foods ir really lower then the quality of home-made dishes. That's why they can lead to certain helath problems and obesity.
In addition to understanding the fact of convenience food's danger, lots of people nowadays like cooking themselves. You have definetely heard about cooking courses in your city. Cooking is a popular hobby and a kind of art. You can watch famous people on TV who share their favourite recepies. Home cooking is not dead yet.
Moreover, convenience foods are not designed for vegetarians. More and more people today think about becoming vegetarians or already prefer such a lifestyle. There are not convenience foods for this category of consumers.
Finally, more and more people now prefer living a healthy and fit life. If you take care of yourself why would you eat convenience foods?

[Very good.]
