The ongoing advances in technology and science have affected many fields of our lives, including our food. Some individuals see this as a positive change, while others regard it as determinal. In my opinion, I think that these changes were for our benefite, and they affected our lives in a positive way.
To begin, some people regard the changes that happened to the types and quality of our food as being harmful because nowadays there are many types of processed food, and junk food, which are known for their harmful effects on people’s health.for instance , these types of diet are linked to increasing number of health problems such as obesity and heart diseases.
Although this true to some extent, yet there are other beneficial changes that technology and science have made to our food. For example, new advances lead to production of certain types of food that are suitable for people with certain diseases , such as gluten free flour for people suffering from a disease called celiac disease. In addition, these advances widened the variety of the products available and allowed the people to choose whatever suited their diet. Furthermore, genetic engineering allowed us to plant new types of crops that can withstand the ongoingchanges in the weather. This helps in maintaining adequate amounts of food supply despite these climate changes.
In conclusion, although the ongoing technology advances may have some negative effects on our food, I believe that the benefits of these new technologies outweighs the drawbacks, and that they will continue to improve the way we eat.
