Here are 3 arguments against buying fast food

To eat out or not to eat out is the question.

For many young people, cooking is not worth the stress. The hours spent frying, boiling and steaming is so stressful that one lacks the appetite to eat after the stress.

You have no option but to take a long break after preparing the meal and engage in the laborious activity of a cleanup.

With different apps on the internet today, you do not even have to leave the house to eat food; it is simply delivered to your doorstep, they are also many roadside vendors but how safe, sanitary and healthy are these foods;

1. Unhygienic meal production

Of course, buying amala at the corner of the street will definitely put the fear of God in you when you see the lady serving the food in scruffy clothes, talking loudly over the food, with her hair uncovered and nails filled with dirt.

We choose to ignore all these red flags of possible food poisoning.

More established food chains try their best to see to the best sanitary conditions but does the government oversee these restaurants and food chains to enforce sanitary compliance?

2. Unhealthy food choices

Another disadvantage of ordering out is you are more likely to eat unhealthily because of limited food options.

Few eateries stock up on healthy meals.

It takes more effort to eat healthily. You will most likely stick to fries, snacks, pastries and other confectionaries.

3. Waste of money

Lastly, eating out might be more expensive in the long run. Using the same resources to buy raw food can cook you the same meal many times over.

At the end of the day, it is all a game of weights, measures, opportunity costs and dietary restrictions.
