There is a controversial phenomenon in which diet is the better way to receive in purchase
food
 or cook at
home
.From my personal perspective, I believe that cooking at
home
 brings more benefits to outweigh purchasing
food
. On
one
 hand, it is undeniable that in an increasing rate of purchase
food
 or take-out from restaurants as a meal.First and foremost, purchasing
food
 is convenient and saves
time
 in
this
 fast develop life.To be more specific, there is a variety of options available to make a choice, with only
one
 click online or
one
 phone call
then
 the
food
 will come to you, and
this
 process takes very little
time
.
Hence
time
-effective would not be wasted on meals.
Furthermore
, though takeout is a remarkable easement for our life, there is a potential threat to our health.
For instance
, no
one
 knows what types of ingredients the merchant used, they will use unhealthy or even harmful additives in order to reduce costs.
Thus
 eating outside despite being acceptable but does lack nutrients.
On the other hand
, I believe that cook at
home
 still been the first choice for a big part of families.
To begin
 with, cooking at
home
 is safer and healthier compete with other ways of having a diet.Precisely speaking, being an own chef means the ingredients and the way to cook are all clear.
Besides
 being healthy has been guaranteed, the
time
 cost is the other side that needs to consider. Take the case of ingredients shopping and preparation, these are the main differences with take out,
time
 will be spent in these cumbersome processes.
As a result
, work or study efficiency will be distracted by cooking. In conclusion, everything has pros and cons. Dining outside does provide a great deal of saving
time
, but it does have potential hazards to our health.
Whereas
,
home
-cooked meal is fresh and have great nutrient value, though their preparation
time
 is a lot. Correspondingly, considering of health, I would prefer cooking at
home
 rather than purchasing
food
.
