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.

Although I admit that eating at food stands and restaurants is timesaving, I prefer to prepare and eat food at home. There are three reasons for that. First, it is healthier second, it is less expensive and third, it is like a hobby for me.

First, preparing and eating food at home is healthier. I go to the store and buy the best selected ingredients to cook with. Also, I wash and prepare them carefully. However, there is no guarantee that they do these at food stands or restaurants. For instance, I go out to eat food once or twice a month and I always have trouble with hair on my plate or dirty spoon/ knife.

Second, preparing and eating food at home is less expensive. I can buy some ingredients and cook any meal that I want to, however, I can't afford that meal in most of restaurants. Also, I bet I cook better than them. For instance, when my parents or my friends invite me for a dinner at an expensive restaurant, I reject them and insist on having a dinner in my place. They always leave by saying ` they love to have a dinner in my place'.

Third, preparing and eating food at home is like a hobby for me. I can spend lots of time with cooking experiments. For instance, I had a recipe of macaroon from my colleague the previous day and I decided to make it after work. When I took my macaroons to work yesterday, all my colleagues loved them and appreciated my ambition.

For these reasons, I believe that I prefer to prepare and eat food at home because it is healthier, it is less expensive and, it is like a hobby for me.
