People can choose between eating homemade food and dining at restaurants. Some people say that it is more preferable for people to eat out because of the diverse options. However, I strongly believe that eating homemade food is more beneficial because it is helpful to our health and we can spend more valuable time with family members dining together at home.
Most of all, homemade foods have a positive impact on our health. People who prepare the foods for their family members not only try to make delicious dishes but also make them healthy. They can buy more environment-friendly ingredients and make them in a more sanitary condition. In contrast, foods at the restaurants or food stands look definitely delicious but they contain heaps of sugar, salt, and even preservatives and imitation ingredients to attract more customers. Thus, homemade foods are much more beneficial to our health than those of restaurants or food stands. For example, according to a research by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Korea, 71% of the people who eat out more than twice a day have the experience of suffering from diabetes, obesity and other diseases.
Moreover, dining at home gives us a great opportunity to spend precious time with our family members. In this competitive and hectic society, it is difficult for us to gather together and talk about our daily life except for having dinner together with family. While preparing and having dinner together, if some of the family members look frustrated and feel stressed out from the burden of either studying or hard-working, we can give them an encouragement with an affirmative attitude toward them. Then, they can feel inspired and overcome many trials. It can help us to strengthen family ties and establish the feeling of unity as a family member. For example, when I was a high school student, I was sincerely frustrated from the fact that I could not go to the privileged university I want to enter. However, my mother advised me that what matters is not what university I attend to, but what I can do to prepare for the future in my present university. Therefore, I could overcome my feeling of discouragement and decided to move on to my next career as a fund manager for the future.
In conclusion, having homemade food provide us with healthy food and valuable time with family members. For these reason, I strongly asserts that it is more recommendable for all of us to eat homemade food. |
