Fast Food and Home Cooked Food

Food is something that we as humans need to take at least two times every day. Some people believe food should be perfectly fresh and natural. In comparison fast food with home-cooked food there are differences. Everybody has different choices for food. Personally I am not so particular about eating food from outside or home-cooked food. For me it all depends upon the situation, mood and time. Eating from outside and home cooked food, have their own associated pluses and minuses.
