Eat Out Or Eat At Home?

By Jim Brown

Modern society has considerably influenced human’’s life. The quick flow of life brings many other services to meet people’’s needs. The appearance of restaurants at the late of 19th century has widen our choices of eating. Many more people choose eating out instead of cooking while the others prefer eating at home. Each way of eating has its own advantages and disadvantages, however, if I can choose, I would like to eat my own food at home.

More and more restaurants are rising day by day to fulfill the customer’’s needs. A large amount of businessmen or officials resort to restaurants as they have no time to prepare food and cook at home. Therefore, they can save much of their precious time and energy by going to a restaurant.

However, a hot issue has been debated lately especially in Vietnam is about food safety.

It is undeniable that all the food served at the restaurants is cooked from safe product with 100 percent guarantee. No one is sure about the origin of the food; he cannot confirm surely that the cook made the dishes carefully and safely enough or not. Another disadvantage of eating out is that the restaurant is a noisy place to enjoy the food. Even sometimes, the others next to our table annoy us with noise and this nuisance breaks our appetite. Moreover, eating out definitely cost more expensive than eating at home. Eating out so much causes the wrong conception in some people’’s thought. They think that their eating out shows their high position or upper strata in society.

I myself would like to have meals at home with some following reasons:

First of all, eating home is a way to keep fit and stay healthy. Going to the super market to buy safe food then cook it at home is the best option for anybody. Especially when a member of your family has a disease, he is not allowed to eat some kinds of food, no cook at restaurants knows exactly about his menu but his family. In addition, we buy fresh food everyday to make sure the meal provides enough vitamins and nutrition so that we are energetic to work and study. When we make sure the home made food is safe and delicious, it is obvious that we enjoy the meal without reservations.

Second of all, eating together with the whole family at home seems to be a good custom in our culture. Each dinnertime is when all family members gather around, enjoy the meal and share their feelings. Everyone is busy with lessons or work at daytime and eating time is when parents ask about the children’’s day at school, and vice versa. In this modern life, many urban dwellers miss their meals at home to go out with friends at the restaurants. They want to try new food at different restaurants or to have more time for friends. Gradually, eating out becomes a habit and it makes people lose sense of family’’s value. Therefore, eating at home seems to be an indispensable activity of many families everyday.
