In many countries today, the eating habits and lifestyles of children are different from those of previous generations. Some people say this has had a negative effect on their health

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

In these days, by the change in lifestyle, the eating habits of children have also been changed. Some people believe that it has negative effects on child health. I agree with this view and intent to argue about the reasons for such harmful effect.

In today modern and complicated world parents have to spend most of time in working out, so lack of time to be at home for cooking fresh foods can generate health problems to children. Mothers often cook and frizz foods for next day until their child warms it and serve. It isn’t good matter because allow to growing of various pathogens. In most of times, that no food is at the refrigerator, children have to eat fast food. By eating fast foods that are full of salt and fat rather than fresh domestic foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, the deficiency of body proteins and vitamins occurs that leads to dangerous diseases.

Moreover, because of increasing of computerized games, children want to be at home and spend most of their time in watching TV or computer screen that cause bad effects of their eyes rather than play with friends or exercise. Also no movement without sport leads to weights increasing. Fatness today recognized as main cause of many health problems.

In conclusion, I would mention that however changing in children’s lifestyle and eating habits have negative effects on their health status, but parents should take plan to solve it. They can spend more time at home to produce domestic healthful foods, decrease the time of e-games playing by replaced them with other playing like football , also encourage their children to eat fruits and vegetables and arrangement good exercise programs for them like registering them into a sport club.

Chemicals in Food

by Arum emmanuel

Do the dangers derived from the use of chemicals in food production and preservation outweigh the advantages?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

In our modern society, it is now common to use chemicals for food production and preservation. Although this have merits but the demerits outweigh the former. This essay will look at both sides with a given conclusion.

It is of no doubt that certain chemicals can be used as food additives. first and foremost, these chemicals when added to food can prolong the life span of the food, therefore making the food consumable at any point in time. For example in international trade whereby food is moved from one country to another over thousands or millions of miles of distance. In addition, it helps in the production of food in due time. certain chemicals for example auxin fasten the rate at which certain food is produced.

However, there are still drawbacks which in my opinion are more than the benefits we receive. These chemicals makes food loose its natural taste and by so doing, might make the consumer of the food dislike it. Also, some health issues arises from the chemicals been put into foods which can be detrimental to ones life. For example colouring in soft drinks and ice cream are few of many which can lead one to diabetes, tooth decay and so on.

All in all, ones health is the most important thing one have to be careful with. chemicals which are harmful to the body should not by any means for any reason be put into food for the safety of our lives. Although food additives is good but the dangers is more important to take into consideration.

IELTS Essay Organic Food

by mamatha28.medepalli@gmail.com

Many stores sell organic fruits and vegetables (produced without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides) even though they often cost more than conventional fruits and vegetables.

Is this a positive or negative development?

These days people are preferring Organic food though costly as they are grown with out chemicals. Basically, people are more concerned about the health which is the main reason why people are preferring organic food compared to the conventional ones and I believe organic food is worth the higher price.

Though ordinary fruits and vegetables look clean, great in color and size, its all because of the pesticides used. On a non-organic farm, their agro-chemicals are all synthetic, and the animals are grown with antibiotics, and growth hormones to produce rapid growth. Also, medications are used to prevent diseases in the animals. Because, non-organic foods use synthetic chemicals, it can be produced easier, and cheaper. Conventional vegetables and fruits are grown with toxic and harmful chemicals to fertilize the soil and kill weeds and insects.

Organic produce has lower levels of pesticide residue than conventional fruits and vegetables. On an organic farm foods are grown using natural bi-products, like manure, and compost. They use spray pesticides from natural sources and traps and mating distractions to keep pests and diseases away. Animals are fed organic feed, and have access to go outdoors. To keep the animals from sickness, preventive measures are used.Organic foods are rich in vitamins and proteins which are very essential for the growth on young generation, that's the reason why many parents go with organic fruits and vegetables. As per the saying 'prevention is better than cure', its always better to take organic food than to take convention food and suffer from various health issues and moreover its always best to buy organic fruits and vegetables which are a bit costly than convention ones than to spend money on health treatments. Organic produce has lower levels of pesticide residue than conventional fruits and vegetables.

Buying conventional food is cheaper, but it isn't cheap to be sick, especially with a major disease like cancer. People who buy organic fruits and vegetables are investing money in their own health and in a healthy future for their children. As the demand is more for organic food, many stores are selling them. It's best to spend the extra money, buy organic, and stay healthy.
