Technology on the other hand has speeded up the food preparation process. Kitchen aid tools such as electric choppers and grinders reduce the entire work load and the food can be prepared at the blink of an eye. Not only it requires less effort compared to the past, but it also saves time, which can be put to other tasks.
The other technological advancement that has helped with food preparation is microwave ovens. This device benefits from short waves that can penetrate food easily and thus cook or warm the food very quickly. In spite of being a huge advancement and saving on time and energy, long term studies and scientific evidence are not supporting the use of such devices and they are being blamed for at least minor risks if used on a long term daily basis.
