Some people believe that cooking at home is a waste of time. They feel it is better to buy fast food which is more convenient and less stressful in modern life. Do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion and examples from your own experience

In today's life, many people struggle to find time to cook

food

at

home

due to their busy schedule. Some people say cooking meal at family is not necessary and buying at fast

food

centres would be more comfortable and stress-free. I do not agree with

this

statement, as the advantages of cooking at

home

outweigh the advantages of buying outside. To start with,

food

prepared at

home

do not have much impact on family members' health conditions as those will be taken into consideration while cooking. Parents, especially mothers, will be interested to cook

food

for their children. They feel

this

is one of the ways to express love and affection and

thus

creating a strong bonding in the family.

Additionally

, it creates an opportunity for children in families, to learn cooking, particularly traditional dishes.

For example

, a survey conducted in India, in the

last

year, indicates 80 percent of people learnt cooking from their parents at

home

.

Although

, buying

food

from fast

food

outlets is more convenient and stress-free, it has major impacts on one's health. People who eat, regularly, fast foods

such

as burgers, pizza, french fries, might develop serious health problems in the long term.

For example

, a study conducted by the National Medical College, indicates 70 percent of people suffering from diabetes and heart problems, are fast

food

eaters.

Moreover

,

this

leads to decreased productivity of the society in-turn affecting the economy. To conclude, I opine that the meal should be prepared in house. To live healthy and contribute more to the economy, people should avoid eating fast

food

and plan some time to prepare it at

home

.
