Eating at food stand or restaurants can be very fascinating for sometimes, but personally, I prefer to prepare and eat food at home. In the contemporary world people are diagnosed with high cholestrol and fatty livers in a very young age, which create some major health issues in later stage of the life. Although eating outside provides us the opportunity to have fun with family and friends with the eye popping decoration of the food, it can hardly be healthy for us. Therefore it is not advisable to eat in a restaurant regularly. In addition to the health aspect, having a meal in a food stand or restaurant can be very expensive, if it is purchased everyday. So my notion of preparing food at home helps us save our money and stay healthy.

First of all, from my close observation in real life situations, food at stands and restaurants look very clean, delicious and attractive due to the efforts they make to decorate it. But, when it is closely observed actually they are not. As the workers in the restaurants get easily exhausted working all day from serving the food to cleaning the tables, it is very obvious that they can not pay much attention to the hygiene anymore. Moreover, they try to finish their tasks and get paid for it. On the other hand , when we prepare the same food at home we take care of the hygiene in our kitchen. Unlike the food stands and restaurants, we try to avoid unnecessary use of food colors and chemicals to make our foodstuff healthier. Furthermore, we use lesser oil and add more vegetables, hence we get the nutrients simply in one or two wholesome food items.

Secondly, while studying in the university, very often I have seen my friends eating outside and always facing the monetary problem in the end of the month. Even though, they opt for the cheapest menu, yet purchasing everyday makes it expensive. For example, when my room mate and I were preparing our meal ourselves, we were just spending the money for buying vegetables and the provisions. As a result, in the end of the month we could save much more money than our other friends who were eating outside. Similarly, personally I have noticed, when I buy some food everyday just because it is cheaper and I can afford easily, eventually I have to face financial shortage after few days. Therefore, I believe eating outside consumes a lot of money and we end of spending a major portion of our monthly budget before realizing the same.

In a nutshell, I would recommend preparing food at home is the best option to protect our health and save some money from spending unnecessarily for the unhealthy food that we get from a food stand or restaurant. Consequently, while working in the kitchen, we can stay fit and fine, also we can fight against obesity and other major health issues those are very common now a days.
