Myth Busting - Fast Food Vs Home Cooking

I have recently made a presentation about breaking the myth about fast-food restaurants is not only faster, cheaper and more nutritious. Although I do not think there is much debate about home cooked meals with nutritious, I was very impressed to see that fast-food chains, some work in recent years have done overhauling their menus. Here is what I am in:

TIME: It seems like time is the proverbial carrot on a stick. We are constantly striving to get a few more minutesof each day. Is it any wonder that has become a fast-food concept, so successful? I assume that even at high time of the day it was through the drive-thru in less than 15 minutes. I have also suggested that you could get through the fast lane at the supermarket at the same time, if you always your shopping to a minimum. But I suggested using the time and go through the supermarket for a healthier meal. Here's why.

BUDGET: I invite acceptedComparative food from McDonalds ™, made from quarter-pounder, fries and a Coke. Then I took a Veggie quarter-pounder, Curly Fries and Coke from Whole Foods Market ™ and compared the two. My goal was to show that it is not necessarily cheaper, a family of four through the drive-through feed. Here's what I found. The McDonald's meal came to $ 19.36, while the similar meal at Whole Foods came to $ 19.24. While it is not a big difference, but it is certainly aLandslide victory for the fast-food guys. I offered a healthier liters of green tea as a substitute for soda, and the price rose to $ 20.24. If you are wondering about the veggie burgers, check it out. There are many delicious brands are working hard to capture your attention and your appetite.

Nutrition Facts: This was a big eye-opener for me. The total caloric intake of the QP, fries and coke came to 1000 calories, 39g fat and 65mg plus theCholesterol - all for a trip through the drive-thru. Conversely, the WF is shopping tour you will get 567/702 calories (Tea-Cola), 13g fat and no cholesterol. If you are watching your weight with calorie and fat or be aware of your cholesterol intake, this shopping experience a breeze!

Overall, it appears that the experiment proves that, while it may be a little faster at the top of the Drive-Thru, quality, cost and nutritional value is far beyond the few minutesYou save. So the next time you pass through a drive-through sign, Keep on going to the supermarket and satisfy your cravings by cooking at home.
