Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
To be a human being, eating is one of the vital activities to maintain our body function. As a result, not just the things we eat do matter, the places in which people choose to eat are something unignorable as well. Although many people prefer to eat outside, I would rather stay at home.
To begin with, eating outsides usually cost much more than cook on your own at home. Basically, to eat in any restaurant, luxurious or common, the price you pay is not just the cost of those raw materials and the excellent cuisine of the chef. In addition, you have to pay the tips for waiters (or waitresses), the rent for those cozy furniture you use while eating, and all the sumptuous appliances or decorations all around you. In my opinion, most of things above are unnecessary when we perform such a life-sustaining activity that is eating.
In the second place, eating outsides might also cause a sanitary concern. Because the profit earning is the most strong impetus and consideration when restaurant owner design his menu, the health of the customers must be the last question under his scrutiny. For a more piquant flavor or fascinating appearances, restaurant owner might add some harmful ingredients while cooking. That's why the news of food intoxications occurs so frequently. Consequently, it is worthless to take the chance for so elemental an activity like eating.
Finally, positively stating the merit of eating at home, to cook and eat with your family members at home is extremely conducive to promote the affection and solidarity of the family. The point consists not just in eating together, but the process that the whole family prepares the raw materials and cook into different courses. By means of this ritual-like process, men do not only fulfill their self-sustaining function, they also enhance this individual conduct to a collective level helping the whole species to prosper continually in this planet.
Judging from the reasons above, I prefer and recommend to eat at home as possible.
