People have their own ideas about whether eating food at home is better than eating out. Some people may say that to eat at food stands or restaurants is much better than to eat at home because it is much more convenient and people do not need to worry about making food every day. In my opinion, however, eating at home by cooking own food is a lot better: people can control nutrition of food and adjust a food for themselves. Also, eating at home is more economical since it saves time and money.
First, people can control nutrition of food and adjust a food for them by cooking at home. It is generally agreed that eating out such as a hamburger or a pizza is not healthy for people due to unbalanced nutrition. In contrast, you will put whatever you want into food and control taste of food freely if you cook at home. Besides, you may feel satisfaction after cooking by yourselves. For example, when I was in college, I was too lazy to cook at home, so I had every meal at fast food restaurant. As a result, I got fat more and more, and my blood pressure unknowingly increased. I was very scared of this true, so I decided to eat healthy food such as vegetables or milk products at home. After this, blood pressure became stable and I recovered myself with nutritious meals.
Second, eating at home is more economical than eating out. When it comes to money, you can save a lot of money by eating food at home. That is because the price of eating out includes service fee and taxes, so it is at least twice as expensive as the price of eating at home. As for time, you can save a lot of time. You would deal with the long line to eat meals or spend time to find the place to park if you tried to eat at restaurant. However, when you eat at home, you do not have to worry about long line and parking lot. All you have to do is simply to cook and eat. According to the survey conducted by the Korea times, people say that eating out is what people should reduce the portion of living cost first. Also, they say that to wait for a long time to eat at restaurant is waste of time for anyone. Therefore, we need to cook by ourselves and eat at home.
To sum up, eating out has some advantages such as choices of various foods and better taste. However, I think, people should eat at home because eating at home is not only healthy for people but also economical. A society is changing rapidly, but people should concern and pay attention to their food. |
