Starting with good stuff one big benefit is that it saves money and time of the people.If someone is using such items they need not to cook or have to spend very little time.For instance,instant noodles take only four to five minutes to be prepared.Whereas traditional food usually takes more than 30 minutes to finish. Thus many hours are saved by use of such products.
Another merit is that it saves money it is more cheaper than of traditional food.For instance,a ready made pizza costs less when compared to the pizza which is prepared at home with scratch.Hence it helps in saving money.

To conclude,the usage of ready made and processed food should be reduced as the biggest disadvantage is health issues.There is nothing which is more important than our health. Therefore the disadvantages overweight the advantages
