A growing number of people rely on restaurants and convenience food (Frozen food and packaged meals) rather than home-cooked food to supply most of their meals. What are the advantages and disadvantages of eating this way ?

There has been a steady rise in sales of restaurants and cafeterias along with

permanently. There are some advantages of procuring

from shops and restaurants. It saves us a lot of

I would like to conclude by saying that even though it may cause us inconvenience, we must take out
