Many people think that home-cooked food is healthy, but many people still prefer eating out. Why is this so?

Food is very important for our living. People nowadays prefer eating food outside rather than eating home-cooked food. Preparing food and eating is far better than eating food in restaurants because it will keep you healthy and fit. In this article, we will see the advantages and disadvantages of having food both at home and in restaurants.

One advantage of eating outside food is that it is more convenient and you do not have to cook food at home. In the present scenario in the family, both the husband and wife work and no one has time to cook food at home. You also get packaged food from the stores which can only be microwaved and eaten apart from that you can also get a variety of food, so most people prefer outside food. While talking about home-cooked food the main advantage is that you will have good health because you add the ingredients which are healthy and organic.

If on one side you get varieties of tasty food in restaurants they will also be harmful for your health. Most of the food outside is served for the sake of getting profit, and they are also prepared in the unhygienic conditions and many chemicals are used to make it tastier. They also use frozen items, a lot of oil is added, the things which are preserved for a long time and so on which will harm the health conditions. The disadvantage of home-cooked food is that it takes a lot of time to prepare food and as both of them n the family will be tired of work they find it difficult to come and prepare food.

Thus there are both advantages and disadvantages in both ways, even if you are tired, it is more preferable to cook the food and eat instead of eating unhealthy food and harming your health.

Some people claim that the government should provide free health care. Others think that the government will not provide the most innovative methods of treatment and it’s better to invest those funds in education and culture. What is your opinion?

Nowadays health is the main concern for people all over the world and most of the people want the government to spend their money on the health sector as the medicines also have become expensive. But some others think that as the government will not come up with innovative methods in the healthcare sector, it is beneficial if the money is spent on the education sector or the culture of society.

The healthcare is becoming expensive day by day and also there people who cannot afford even for the basic health checkup or the medicines of their family members. If the government does not bring any innovative methods in the health care it can at least provide free healthcare facilities to those who cannot afford for it and also the government can provide the people with free health insurance so that the people can have a secured life and can support their own life. 

On the other hand, even education has become is also important for human life thus the government also should spend its funds on building schools and colleges and also help the students who are willing to take higher studies by giving them sufficient scholarships. Along with developing the healthcare and educational sector the government should also uplift the culture of the society so that the younger generation will get some ethical values.

To sum up we can say that the healthcare sector and the education sector are the two important sectors of the nation and if the government invests its funds in these two sectors, then our country becomes a better place to live in.
