Is home cooked food better than store bought?!


Question: Is home cooked food better than store bought?
1. The taste
2. Healthier
Just want to know the reasons, you can give me percentage if possible or with examples are fine too.
Thanks! :)

Answers:

Yes, because most store bought food is processed. Processed food isn’t very healthy and it also is quite fatty.



Although it mainly depends on what you eat, but eating at home is almost going to be healthier every time. The restaurants add fatty thing sthat APPEAL to your taste buds, so that you love the food and want to come back, and not so much watching your caloric intake.

That being said, I'm not a good cook, so if I want some really good tasting food (but most assuredly more fatty) I will go out to eat.



Definitely - I love home cooked food, excuse the phrase but it is more 'homely' Feels so good with a plate full of home cooked food in your belly rather than processed.
There are some store bought meals i suspect that will be made by hand with fresh ingredients.
If you home cook it you know exactly what is going into the food..no nasty e numbers or whatever it is they add to it
So I would say healthier - but on the whole it does depend on what you cook!



Hey
I prefer home cooked food because you know what exactly is going into the food and you can make it as healthy as you like or as fatty as you like, you feel good about yourself when you have been able to make something as good or better as store bought meal.

Homemade macaroni is nice



99% of the time home made is much better in taste and health. There are a few things that you just can't get to be quite the same as your fave store bought items. And some days you are pooped and burnt out from making all home made meals that store bought just tastes SOO much better, lol



They are certainly going to be healthier, especially if you use mostly fresh ingredients.

Whether or not they taste better would be a matter of your opinion. Perhaps you should cook a meal, buy a store equivalent, taste them both and see which you prefer.



I think home made food is better because it doesn't have all the chemicals in them to stop them going out of date, less chemicals must mean more healthy??



of course - we don't add all those additives!!! - and if you notice home cooked is much easier on the stomach and our health

me



yes it is. Home cooked is always better because then you know what is in it.



yes



Made from the heart and with love!
