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?

Nowadays, many people prefer to eat in

restaurants

or buy frozen

food

from supermarkets to save time,

while

many prefer to cook fresh

food

at

home

to get a healthy diet. Eating and cooking fresh

food

at

home

have more nutritions value as compared to market and restaurant meals.

This

essay will discuss both sides and explain why prepared

food

at the residence has better vitamins. On the one side, eating at

restaurants

is more convenient because it takes less time to serve at a customer’s table and there is no need to do preparations and dish wash.

Whereas

many people are very busy with their office work it is easy for them to eat or buy from convenience stores. Another factor is that buying

food

from convenience stores is cheaper than

restaurants

easy to carry heated up in the microwave and ready to eat.

For example

, many software engineers are not cooking at their flats and go to meet friends and eat there. On the other side, the primary reason is that cooking at

home

is fresh and can be prepared as per requirements,

whereas

in

restaurants

they supply whole portions of

food

, which contain more salt, sugar, and fat are harmful to health.

For instance

, many people in metro cities suffer from obesity and heart problems.

In addition

, buying from the supermarkets, frozen

food

is cheap as compared to the hotel but it is not fresh, so there is nutritional value in these foods. In conclusion, following the analysis of both sides,

it is clear that

eating at

restaurants

or buying frozen meals consumes less time as compared to cooking at

home

but they do not have nutritional values and are more expensive compared to cooking at

home

, that

food

is healthy and cheap in cost.
