Nowadays, many people prefer eating out rather than cooking at home. Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

In

this

day and age, eating out

instead

of cooking at home has become increasingly popular.

Although

eating out can have certain merits, I personally think that the demerits are more considerable. On the one hand, eating out brings a lot of benefits. One of the most significant benefits is that it helps save time.

This

is mainly because

people

can quickly get a meal and they do not have to prepare ingredients and cook.

Also

,

people

do not need to waste time cleaning the kitchen and washing the dishes after the meal. The second benefit is that when

people

eat out, they have more choices and they can choose whatever they want to eat.

Besides

, there are some dishes that

people

cannot cook themselves.

For example

, sushi, which is a dish from Japan, requires materials to be fresh so

people

may have to go to a restaurant.

On the other hand

, I am firmly convinced that the drawbacks of eating out are more significant.

To begin

with, eating out may have negative effects on

people

’s health.

This

is mainly because

people

cannot know the origin and quality of the ingredients of the food. To illustrate

this

point, in Vietnam, there are many restaurants that sell lots of dishes which are cooked with reused cooking oil.

Moreover

, the cost of eating out is usually higher than cooking at home.

This

is mainly because restaurants not only charge service fees but

also

many other fees.

For instance

, in Vietnam, lots of restaurants charge their customers a certain amount of tax and service fee. In conclusion,

while

there are certain upsides of eating out regarding its convenience and variety of choices, it is my firm belief that the downsides in terms of negative effects on

people

’s health and the higher cost are weightier.
