Most people prefer ready to eat food outside of their homes rather than home made food now.Do you think this has more advantages or disadvantages.
Nowadays, there is a huge trend to eat out rather than eating home-cooked meals. There are plenty of benefits as well as negative aspects of this. First of all, it is beneficial for people, hence they can easily purchase food and do not need to spend time preparing it. On the other hand, individuals usually tend to choose dishes that are less healthy for their bodies. I think, that home-cooked food is a healthier option.
