People today can prepare their meal much easier than has ever been before. To prepare a single dinner, provident housewives usually had to work for hours in the past: they had to buy home dirty vegetables which had to wash, meal which had to slice,and so on so forth. Each and every step of preparation was a time-consuming task. But now, things are entirely different. Supermarkets provide vegetables and meat clean and neat, some of them even have relevant ingredients and need only a few minutes to be made into delicious meals. And this cahnge has indeed greatly improved the way we live.

I think in some ways yes and in some ways no. If you use fresh ingredients and healthy things then it has improved your life but if you are eating fried and frozen things from boxes, your freezer, and your microwave your body is going to suffer. Many instant food have too much sodium or fat, I always try to use fresh vegetables when I cook, and not too many ready prepared things.

Of course it has improved the way we live. It improved in the sense that the time saved from preparing tedious meals can be well spent doing other favorable things like watching our favourite tv show together with our loved ones. But if you ask me if it gives out better tasting food, I would have to disagree as I still think food prepared the ol' fashion way somehow has that authentic taste in them. But back to your question, if I was still in the kitchen doing the tedious marinating and all, I wont be here myLotting. So, in a way, I am able to enjoy myLot as I have a quicker way to prepare my meals these days!
