Essay
Eating out is a luxury that many people enjoy on a regular basis.
The food prepared in fast foods is convenient and tasty, but has certain drawbacks when compared to food you prepare at home. Examining the pros and cons of fast food versus homemade food will give the information to determine what and where you want to eat. However, there are several similarities and differences between the two types of food.

Firstly, there are some distinct similarities between the two food items. The first similarity is that they both provide a variety of choices. There are a number of selections available in the different restaurants. For example, there are salads, burgers, shwarmas, and more. Likewise, if the ingredients are available, anything can be cooked in your own kitchen. In addition, each can be relatively cheap. Fast food can be very cheap since many meals are under 20 dirhams. Home cooked meals also can be reasonable especially if ingredients are carefully considered according to the cost. Also, both fast food and home cooked meals can be delicious. We know that many people enjoy the taste of fast food because it is popular around the world. Similarly, home cooked meals can certainly be yummy if they are prepared just as you like them, for example ghee rice with beef or mutton.

Although there are a number of similarities there are several differences between fast and home cooked meals. The first difference is that fast food is generally more fattening since oil is frequently used in the cooking process. In contrast, the fat content can be controlled in home cooking. Another important difference is the amount of time that each takes. Fast food is obviously quick since menus are limited and a number of staff is involved in the preparation and cooking process. Home cooked meals, in contrast, take longer to complete since one person is usually responsible for the entire meal. Yet another difference is convenience. Fast food is ready made and always available anytime whereas home-cooked meals are not instant.

In short, we can see that fast and home cooked meals are similar in many ways but very different in others. I prefer home cooked meals since I like what is cooked at home is always safe. Fast food is business and their main concern is making money. Homemade food is, therefore, a much smarter choice than fast food.
