关于方便面,方便食品

Everyone knows America is a nation in a hurry--especially the makers of packaged foods. First there was the TV dinner. Then came fast food for meals on the go. Nowadays, with the pace of life approaching warp speed, it' s time for something marketers call hyper-convenience food.

In their continuing quest to trim the amount of time spent on cooling and eating, packaged food producers are streamlining every aspect of dining--shopping, preparation, the act itself and cleanup. Supermarkets are clustering meal components near each other to reduce the time spent wandering the aisles. Short-cuts like pre-washed, peeled vegetables are everywhere. And any food that can be shaped to fit into automobile cup holders is considered to have a great advantage.

Whether fueled by time-pressed parents or unraveling family life, convenience continues to dominate the food scene. People want to eat the right things but when it comes to health for time, time wins. It is often found that people are frequently eating directly out of boxes, bags or other containers. In addition, teenagers and other family members--whether because of schedules or dysfunction--were shown eating meals at different times, rather than sitting down the dinner together. One of the latest book, The Rise and Fan of the American Teenager concludes that the scattershot approach to the family dinner hour is linked to social problems like drug use.

Now, people are constantly pressed for time and on the move. Family members seldom sit down for dinner every night. It's a very different pace we live today. Breakfast is pretty much gone, as far as sitting down and eating. Lunch is on the way out, and dinner is under attack.
