▶ Your Answer : One of the trends brought about by 21 century is eating out, and it's a common dilemma among many what we choose to eat every night. Moreover, a lot of discussions have been made as to whether eating at home is better or eating out is more beneficial. While many argue in favor of eating at home on the many grounds such as cost effectiveness, I firmly believe that eating out is more suitable for today's life for many including myself.
Firstly, contrary to what many believe, eating out can actually save us a lot more money than eating at home. Reason behind this is that today's restaurants are very different from previous times in the way they purchase ingredients needed to make food. Before, restaurants used to be owned rather in a small scale thus the way they bought ingredients was not so different from just regular home, which they go to a market and shop around to pick what seemingly is the best with a bit of negotiation on the price. However, newly developed network system of ingredient purchase for restaurants has been so advanced and well established that as long as they consume in bulk amount, they can purchase at a much cheaper rat ,which is directly translated in to their price.Not only that, in case we eat at home, the needed items for whatever the food we try to make have to be bought in a package most of the time. This creates a lot of waste of food because we usually end up throwing them away after them being in the fridge for a month or so. Therefore, in the long run, eating out can be much cost effectively smarter way of dining.
Moreover, It is also more practical way of eating as well. We are living in a society where it puts a lot of demand on us for just about every aspect. we are swamped with work load and full of responsibility. Time has been made valuable that can exceed any other side of our lives. Getting information,shopping,reading books,spending time with our families,recreation,and,most importantly work are just few things we have to do on a regular basis. Therefore, the one that knows how to spend time wisely might have better chance of succeeding in society. The problem with eating out is that it takes too much of our precious time away. Not only it takes more time to shop and cook the food but also cleaning up would take equally same amount of our important time. If we spend those time on something much more practical like searching on-line for stock market, reading newspapers and so forth, we are not only smart on spending the time wisely, but also our potential prospect would much more be bright due to better preparedness and knowledge gained from those efforts.
All in all, while eating out has also negative side such as nutritional balance of the food and tendency to eat a lot on account of greater proportion served at restaurants, in my opinion, the advantage given by eating out is so great we just can not refuse that option these days. | |
