Busyness
As I watched my surroundings of people who would rather eat in or dine out, started the idea that there are many reasons for that choice; One reason is busyness. Families usually have to dine out or pick up food from a restaurant, only because of their schedule. It should not be a factor, the expectation should be that all homemade meals should be pre-planned. There are families that i have noticed where the mother will plan out her meals for the week, go to the grocery store to buy ingredients, and then make meals as planned. Also, some mothers make the excuse that they have a job; however, a very close family named the Bakers always have homecooked meals. I believe it saves the family a lot of money; however, people do not take that into account until after-the-fact when they are looking at what the family spent and where. Even on a hectic, busy night the mother will throw a pizza in the oven. Pizza may not be the healthiest thing, but at least she can choose which pizza she wants and know what ingredients is in the pizza. The Baker familiy was my first observation, and my second observations will be another close family called the Peavy's.
