It is true that some instant foods are less nutritious than foods we cook at home for ourselves: for example, in the most of cup noodles are there much less vegetables, compared with noodle we make ourselves. However, in some ways instant foods have improved the way we live. Today I explain three good factors about instant foods. First, they have reduced the amount of kitchen garbage. Second, most of them display their nutrient and help us take balanced diet.

First, instant foods have reduced the amount of kitchen garbage that emits bad smell. For example, when we cook curry rice, a lot of kitchen garbage like peel of vegetables is left after cooking. However, in use of instant curry, only a plastic bag is left. Kitchen garbage smells so bad that it has been a big problem for the neighbors of dumping place. For example, in my neighborhood, we must not put our garbage at the dumping place at night, but we should put it in the morning just before garbage collector come so as not to trouble the neighbors with the bad smell. Not only around the dumping places, but also it smells bad in elevator of apartments and kitchen of our house, and makes us uncomfortable. Therefore, instant foods have improved our life by reducing the amount of kitchen garbage.

Second, instant foods have improved our life by displaying their nutrient, and help us take balanced diet. Most of instant foods like noodle, curry, soup, and spaghetti, display at least their calories on the container in order that we avoid taking too many calories. Some of them present even their detailed nutrient: for example, how much protein or vitamin they include. Moreover, some of them show both the necessary amount of protein or vitamin we have to take par day and the amount of such nutrients they include so as to help us calculate easily how much we have to take these nutrients from other foods. Compared with the food we cook for ourselves, instant foods tell us more exactly about the nutrients. Therefore, instant foods help us take balanced diet.

In conclusion, instant foods have improved our life at least in two ways. First, they decrease the kitchen garbage that produces bad smell. Second, they help us take balanced diet by displaying their nutrient. I conclude that instant foods have these merits and they help our life improve.
