Fast Food can’t win over Home Cooking

It hunts you like a bad dream and it’s not fearful at all; in fact you look forward to
the smell, taste, and the satisfactory of your stomach. Food may be the only solution you
have in your life’s agenda that’s very fulfilling in ways of making you feel happy when you’re sad, and to give you an energy booster to help you concentrate. You may try some alternatives to diverse your mind in a different direction, but no matter where you are or what you’re doing you will always be reminded that you may need something as small as a candy bar or something like a full course meal. Your body is very cooperative because it lets you dictate when and where you want to decide to satisfy the urge. Most people know in today’s world the type of work schedules they have and time may not always be in your favor to make a run to the nearest coffee shop or restaurant, that’s why most businesses have supplied refrigerators and microwaves in their break rooms. In these situations it’s very convient to bring leftovers or microwave dinners from home, but if you have a job that allocates you enough time to leave and pick something up from a fast food restaurant then you risk your chances of losing your parking space or not making it back on time to eat your meal.
It’s the end of your work day and you may not feel like preparing a meal so in these situations fast food would be okay, but after a hard day’s work there’s nothing compared to a good home cooked meal that has been marinating. You have prepared a chicken with your favorite seasonings along with sliced onions, celery, and carrots in chicken broth, you place it in the oven, along with that you will have rice with gravy, string beans and rolls. A home cooked meal is better to have than fast food because you are in control of the calories you eat. There are some instances where you will be able to order low calorie meal such salads with only lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots with light dressing or tuna sandwich plain (no mayonnaise) ,with crackers (no salt), to drink water is always great.
When it comes to feeding the family, home cooking has the bigger advantage. Take the time to average up how often you feed your family fast food, how much you have ordered, and price it. Then you figure out when you go to the grocery store and only concentrate on what you will be cooking for one day, compare that price to what had paid at the fast food restaurant, and notice that you will come out cheaper, even if you purchased the same meal that the fast food restaurant provided. The biggest advantage comes when it’s time to eat again, instead of going back to the restaurant you still have food prepared at home.
In conclusion the positives include less expensive, don’t have to wait on anyone to get dressed, less noise and able to hear each other’s conversation, the buffet is laid out in front of you where you don’t have to leave your seat or receive the wrong order. The only negative I can come up with would be who’s doing the dishes.
