By Biji Scotland: Changes in food habits: it is alright, it is a concern.

Changes in food habits are happening must faster than ever. Some people believe that it is no big deal as it is a collateral development of the changing life, while there are others who hold the view that it is a much bigger problem than it looks.
Discuss both the views and put in your opinion on it

These days many people are of the opinion that changing food habit is (the question was in plural form) becoming a part of modern world. Some, however, disagree with the view for a host of reasons. According to them, these changes in habits can generate serious issues in the future. In my opinion, this practice can disturb the normal flow of life unless people are not prudent.

It is true to say that concept of food has changed a lot as compared to the past. Nowadays, people consider these changes as part of their culture. Many people hold the view that these changes can prevent monotony in their life and create happiness. Apart from that, many people welcome this practice because of the convenience that it provides in today’s hectic life. For example, people rely on fast foods and ready-made foods for their convenience. Food is integral to human movement and therefore they are moving out with different foods that are around.

On the other hand, some people argue that changes in food habits can cause more harm than good. People consume fast foods without considering its negative effects. For instance, fast food can create more health issues like obesity, metabolic disorders and indigestion. This can impact human life. Apart from that, these days many new preparations consist of artificial flavours, colours and preservatives which are not good for health. Continuous use of these substances can cause dangerous cancer. So, these changes are not advisable. No wonder, there is great substance in the second view that it is worrisome.

The discussion makes it evident that, although changes in food habits are common these days, people should be wise enough to manage their foods so that they can enjoy both the worlds, food of their choice off and on and avoid the risks out faster changes in food habits.
