We are what we eat, so we don't have to be fast, cheap,
light or fake. Although we have a very busy schedule, we
must try to eat properly and be careful what and where we eat. While it may be true that a busy schedule affects our diet and lifestyle, we can also say that the lack of food education and high prices for healthy food makes us opt for fast food or unhealthy food. We can certainly say that a busy lifestyle affects what we eat, because most of the time, in a hurry and being hungry we tend to eat on the hoof or to eat different kind of ready meals. Although there are people who have a busy lifestyle and still eat properly, their percentage is much lower than others. Do you agree with me? Another fact that we should take into consideration is locally produced food. On the one hand, people are reluctant to buy this kind of product, believing that imported ones are better, and also because local products are more expensive, on the other hand, local products are better, as they are brought directly from seller, are not transported for weeks by refrigerators and also people should be encouraged to buy local products, because in this way we also support the state economy and we have the opportunity to see more in depth how they are produced or grown. Thus we realize that most domestic producers sell organic products, while in trade we mostly find genetically modified products. Furthermore, we must support not only local producers, but also try to support different chefs who open their own business. The reason I consider this is that chefs are the basis of a restaurant. We all realize that they have to be smart, passionate about what they do, take care of their hygiene, also a good memory, but also the courage and imagination to create new dishes, new food masterpieces. In addition, the chef cooks mass production, maybe not as much as the food in the shops, however he has to be careful that they are all the same, because the difference between the products in shops and restaurants is that some are produced by machines, while the others of people. If we talk about machines, it is clear that in the future, our eating habits will change even more. We already have support for this, because we have food processors that do 80% of the work when we cook something. Thus, surely in a few years everything will be technological, and we will only end up dictating on the phone what to do with the devices. Also, traditional food and freshly cooked meals will be replaced with ready meals, and sit- down meals will also be replaced with eating on the hoof or wherever we can eat, as it already happens. How do you feel about the power of the future, do you think it will change significantly, or will it remain the same ?!
