Cooking at home is a waste of time because so many convenient fast-food options make life less stressful. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In this revolutionised era, people are so busier these days owing to which it is being said that in recent days, fast food is more convenient compared to homemade. Unarguably, I agree with this notion; however, its regular consumption will impose deleterious effects on health.   To start with, due to cut-throat competition, people are working around the clock, and hence, running out of appropriate time to cook their food at home.

  Fast Food and Break Fast What do you have for breakfast? I prefer to have my favourite food items during the first meal of the day. Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India. Moreover, we have traditional fast foods as well.  The first one is a sa...
