So if you’re too
busy,maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend.There
has been a new trend（趋势）in food recently — getting away from fast
food and moving toward “slow food”.
For years,the pace of life was increasing
for most people.They were too busy to cook.The trouble including buying,
preparing and cleaning up after a meal was becoming more bother than it was
worth clearly.Luckily,there were smart business people who took the chance to
provide a “fast” way to deal with the problem.Almost overnight,you could drop
by the supermarket and buy complete meals in packages.All you had to do was to
heat it and you could be eating a delicious meal in 5 minutes.Just add salt.
Still too slow?OK,just drive your car
up to the fast-food restaurant,order your meal and within 2 minutes it will be
handed over to you with salt.
The problem is health.Fast food has much
more oil,salt and empty calories and far less vitamins than food freshly
prepared at home.And so,since people have always wanted to live longer and
healthier,a small but growing population is choosing not only fresh food,but
also organically（有机）grown food — food that hasn’t been grown
with chemical fertilizers（化肥）.
Another reason for changes in eating
habits is undoubtedly social.Over the centuries,meal times have been used to
visit,laugh and learn.That doesn’t fit with today’s lifestyle and many people
are looking for ways to return to that.Goodbye McDonald’s.
Finally,there’s something unique about
planning your meal,buying just the right ingredients and seeing something on
your table that looks just like the picture in your recipe book.So if you’re
too busy,maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend.
