The fast food vs. a home-cooked meal argument has been currently attacked. I took a survey of my class of 14, 8 of them think a home-cooked meal is better. Before you go out to buy a double cheeseburger & large fries there is many information you need to know first.

Do you really think it's a good idea to buy those deep fried french fries dipped in a whole lot of grease? Fast foods are very popular. It's the most common food to eat. But, is it healthy? With all that fat and grease they load into this food it causes many people to be obese. The last thing you want is leading to an unhealthy life. You may not know what they put into the food they make anyway. It can be unsafe meat that has been out in the sun for six hours. You want to know whats in your meal before you take your first bite. I can see it now. . . you buy a salad that you think is totally healthy. You soak up all that salad with your favorite Thousand Island dressing. It's bearly a salad anymore, all you can see is the loaded dressing that you made your salad drown in. Next thing you know you end up having thunder thighs! That is totally unhealthy. Do you think it's a good idea to buy fast food now?

A home-cooked meal on the other hand is different. When you have a home-cooked meal you can make what ever you want. You don't have to add all that grease to your favorite home-made baked chicken. You can have a fresh products in your dish. This way it's healthy for you and your family. You have a great, fresh meal up ahead of you. I can see it now. . . your son comes home from school looking terribly starving, he runs into the house holding his growling stomach. He sits at the kitchen table looking forward to a delicious meal. You put a plate on the table filled with fresh vegetables. He thinks it's so gross. He takes his first bite and squeals with joy! He likes it! It tastes great and it's healthy too. Don't you think a home-cooked meal is better?
