Nowadays, more people would rather purchase food than cook at home. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend? Give ideas about which is better way according to you and why?

These days, as

people

live a fast-paced life, more

people

tend to order takeouts from restaurants. Apparently,

this

is a faster and easier way to have delicious

food

than cooking at

home

. There are different opinions on both sides,

however

, for

people

who live alone like me, purchasing

food

is a more efficient way than cooking at

home

. On the one hand, cooking at

home

requires not only

time

but

also

skills.

First

of all, it takes at least two hours to prepare a healthy and good-tasting meal and clean up afterwards. For those who are busy, it may be a reasonable choice to purchase

from the markets.

Secondly

, not everyone is a good cooker, getting

food

from restaurants allows

people

to try a variety of delicious dishes from different countries.

On the other hand

, purchasing

food

may be unhealthy and expensive. Takeouts use salts and oils that exceed the daily intake amount of the human body for a better taste. Meanwhile, it is cheaper to buy ingredients from the market than to get meals from restaurants. Personally, I prefer ordering takeouts to cook by myself mainly due to

time

factors. I live alone and work eight hours on weekdays.

As a result

, I have to do all the housework myself and do not have enough

time

to cook for myself. Even though ordering

food

is expensive, I would rather save

time

for more important jobs that need to be done. In short, purchasing

food

is a good approach to save

time

and effort but

also

costs more than cooking at

home

. As cooking is

time

-consuming, it becomes a more suitable action to get

food

for busy

people

.
