foods and ready-made meals contain preservatives

1.    Many processed foods and ready-made meals contain preservatives and chemicals. What are the advantages to this? DO you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
It is an irrefutable fact that chemicals such as flavour enhancers, preservatives, artificial colours and various stabilizers are added to convenient meals. Although there are certain advantages to this practice such as an increase in the life of a product and enhancement of taste, the main drawbacks are that it has harmful effects in the long run and these chemicals make a person addicted tothese foods. In my opinion, the disadvantages of these chemicals outweigh the advantages they offer.

Admittedly, there are some basic benefits to using these chemicals in the food. The first one is that it helps to increase the shelf-life of a product. This is because the life of the food is short and this makes them easily perishable. To tackle this issue, the manufacturers add these chemicals. For example, at least 98% of the processed food contains preservatives to add lifeand freshness to the product. Another advantage is that it enhances the taste and flavour of the food. These chemicals make the food more delicious regardless of their impact on one’s health and as a result, companies make a lot of profit.

Despite the advantages above, I believe that there are some serious drawbacks to this trend. One potential issue is that these chemicals have a long lasting impact on one’s health. This is because they can cause serious health ailments such as cardiac issues, cancer and may also damage the central nervous system. Another disadvantage is that these chemicals are addictive. This encourages a person to eat these foods often and increases the chances of thesehealth ailments.

 In conclusion, the serious health consequences of preservatives far outweigh the mere benefits of longer shelf-life and taste enhancement. Hence, it is recommended to eat home cooked meal to stay healthy.

Accommodation and transport problems

  Accommodation and transport problems are increasing in many large cities. Businesses are encouraged to move to rural areas. Do advantages outweigh disadvantages? In the modernization era, many problems occur in metropolitan cities like accommodation and transport. The movement of an organization from urban to rural areas has become the solution to eradicate such issues. There are a lot of positive and negative outcomes of this. On the one side, it is ridiculous to say that any business can shift from an urban area to the countryside without facing any loss. Firstly, this change may cost a firm due to a reduction in the quality of its workforce. Not each employee is willing to resettle or work there. And they prefer seeking another career in the large city to maintain their current living standards. The enterprises would have to hire local workers who are, indeed,  less competent. The expenses for the mandatory training courses are significant to them. But an improvement in t...

    Many animals are being hunted to the brink of extinction in order  to fulfill the demand and greed of mankind for decorative purposes as well as for other reasons, such as traditional medicine. How can this issue be tackled ? People hunt animals to satisfy their greed and sometimes or medicinal purposes. For example, tigers and crocodiles are being hunted for their skin. I t will affect the balance of our ecosystem. Since humans cannot survive without other members of the food chain, we must put a stop to mindless poaching and hunting. Enacting stringent laws that make poaching a serious crime is a step in the right direction. The government must also create awareness about the need to protect wild animals. It must bring home the fact that if animals die people cannot survive. The school curriculum should incorporate lessons that teach children the importance of protecting animals. Also, the government should build wildlife sanctuaries where animals can li...

big cities face several problems

People living in big cities face several problems. What are these problems? Should governments encourage people to move to smaller towns?   In recent times, most people like to live in urban areas. Individuals of the  metropolitan  city face various difficulties like crime, pollution, and health disease. From my perspective, the government should apply some norms to mitigate the preceding problems. The  predominant  cause to live in city places is a crime. In highly populated areas, the risk of encountering a crowd is much higher than in a small town. Additionally, if the culprit feels protected by the  anonymity  that a large city provides, he may  perpetrate  more wrongdoings. Furthermore, air pollution is also a prevalent issue in major cities. Surface transportation is the  predominan t source of greenhouse gas emissions, which cause respiratory problems to the people. This problem is made worse by the  utter  number of ve...
