▶ Your Answer :
Personally, I am fond of eating at restaurant. Yet, if I were asked is it better to have foods in restaurant than having foods at home, I would say no. Even though I like restaurants because they mostly have romantic ambience, variety of menus, and quick services, I believe it is better to have healthy, also, full of sentimental value homemade foods. This point shall be discussed in this essay.
To start with, eating in is better than eating out because homemade foods are much healthier than restaurant foods. This is because unlike most of the restaurant, homemade foods don’t contain any harmful substances such as food additives and artificial flavors. On top of that, homemade foods are only made of fresh materials. Last but not the least; foods are made in hygiene environments. To illustrate this point, a recent survey shows that almost 50 percent of restaurants are not strictly following the hygiene rules. Also, the number of survey reveals that many restaurants use materials that are left in previous cooking to remake foods again. The clinical studies clearly show that unhygienic and unhealthy foods give people stomachache, but also, destroy the stomach walls. More importantly, habitual eating these restaurant foods has a negative impact on circulation of blood and increases the risk of hypertension and diabetes. Therefore, eating homemade foods are better when we consider the fact that restaurant foods are unbeneficial to our health.
Secondly, foods made by our own contain more sentimental value than those made by supreme chef at luxurious restaurant. This is due to the fact that homemade foods include one’s effort and time. Also, it takes one’s endeavor and sincerity to make food because people usually think about a person whom they cook for. The best example of this point is my experience at my friend’s house. When I got to the place, I saw her handmade little cookies, cheese spaghetti which is my favorite, and her special pizza. Unlike pizza selling at the restaurant, my friend’s pizza had more corns and hams and from this I could feel her generosity and sentimental value. If she invited me at restaurant, I would never have a chance to taste her food and feel her warmth. Furthermore, I probably not remember the day I had dinner with her at restaurant. However, because she invited with her homemade food, I remember that day clearly and I can pick that day as my most memorable day in my life.
Likewise, homemade foods have sentimental value and it is the best way to show one’s heart.
To sum up, I agree that it is better to eat homemade foods than eat at restaurant. This is because homemade foods are beneficial to our body, and gives us chance to feel sentimental value from a person. On the whole, one word can express the homemade food, which is “love”.
