Why Cook at Home?

Why cook at home? Health and Wealth. The most important reason focuses on your health. It’s good for you, mentally and physically. There can be no dispute that the food you make at home is better for you than the super-sized, fat-ridden, salt-laden foods you find outside the home. Fast food is low in nutrition and high in health risks. Along with the health issues, we have the “wealth” side of the argument: cooking at home is more economical than going out to eat. Add up what you pay for frequent meals outside the home, and you will find that it will cost you less than half to eat at home. Once you know the benefits of home cooking, you will eat at home more often, eating healthy foods while saving money. You will be healthier and wealthier.
