Do you prefer to eat out or at hom6

Do you prefer to eat out or at home?
I prefer to prepare and eat food at home. I like to take this stand
because of the following reasons.
My first reason is health. Food is a very good source of infections
leading to many hazardous diseases. So eating a healthy, nutritious
food is very essential to increase the expectancy of an individual. I
think homemade food is more healthy and nutritious. The reasons
for this are:
1. We make sure that the ingredients we use to prepare the food
are clean and thus free from germs. 2. We can use very nutritive
substances like certain vegetables or meat according to individual
caloric needs.
My second reason is cost or money. Preparing and eating food at
home is highly cost effective, when compared to eating at a
restaurant or food stand. For example, if we buy vegetables for about
20$, we can cook food at home for at least 2 weeks, but for the same
20$, if we eat at a restaurant we can eat for hardly 3 days.
My third reason is family gathering. When we prepare and eat food
at home, the whole
family gathers at the dining table. We can use this time to talk
about our daily activities and share the happy moments.
My fourth reason is satisfaction. Some people, including myself
enjoy cooking. I like to try preparing new recipes and learn different
styles of cooking. While preparing food at home, we get a chance to
sense the good aroma. After doing all the hard work, if the dish we
prepare turns out to be good, the satisfaction that we get is immense.
We feel very happy that we could prepare a healthy, nutritious and
delicious food to someone we love.
Life today has become very fast and mechanical. So there is not
enough time to prepare food at home. So, in this lifestyle people
prefer to go to food stands and restaurants.

It is good to eat in food stands and restaurants only occasionally. I
think, on a daily basis, it is good to prepare and eat food at home.
Life is short and we have to make the most out of it. So, for the
health, happiness and satisfaction I can give to my loved ones, and
myself I prefer to prepare and eat food at home.
