Some people prefer to eat meals at restaurants, while others like to prepare and eat food in their own home. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Restaurants provide us with a wide range of different
meals
and dishes on their menus, and most
people
cannot resist those charming items on menus so prefer to have their
meals
outside
instead
of having them at
home
. But there is a proportion of
people
who prefer to serve their meal at their
home
and enjoy cooking. I am of a mixture of both but mostly prefer homemade foods. In
this
essay, I will be explaining my thoughts and give some examples in
this
regard. Nowadays, due to the fast-paced technological advancement in our life, everyone needs to keep their productivity at a very high level,
consequently
, our lifestyle has changed and a vast majority of
people
do not have enough time to cook their
meals
at
home
and enjoy it with their family, they,
thus
, prefer to get their lunch or dinner from takeaways or have a fast meal with their friends on diners.
For example
, because of
this
change in lifestyle,
food
delivery services have seen a rise in the number of their customers in recent years.
However
, a part of society still tends to stay on homemade
food
plans so that they can stay healthy.
This
belief is true, as statistics mention, in recent decades, the obesity ratio has been increasing among developed countries. So some
people
try to avoid ordering their
meals
from various restaurants and prefer to put effort to make their desired dish themselves in order to prevent their health from being affected by the harmful long-lasting effects of ready-made fast foods. In recent years, with the help of technology,
people
who do not have enough time for buying groceries, finding recipes and cooking, can order organic ingredients with well-explained recipes online and receive them at their
home
doorway,
therefore
, they only need to cook the meal using the shipped recipe and ingredients. In conclusion,
Although
there are different choices on restaurants' menus and anyone can enjoy them, there are someones who prefer to have a healthier life would choose to bake
food
at
home
. I prefer to have a
food
plan containing both
home
-cooked
food
and restaurant
meals
.
For example
, I prefer to cook at
home
at weekends and order my dishes from takeaways on business days since I am very busy on weekdays.
