Let's eat out more!

News from The Australian.

Let's forget about deciding what dishes to cook tonight and what kind of breakfast to prepare tomorrow morning. It will be easier to just eat outside!

New research has shown that the Aussies might be eating out more than they did last year but at the same time they are still opting for healthier meals. Roughly 15% of Australians would say that they go out for breakfast once a week or more. 32% enjoy having dinner out each week while 38% go out for lunch. Although more Australians are eating out, one in four of them are found ordering healthier meals than they were 1 year ago. This is further proven by the claim that 20% of Australians have increased their salad consumption.

On the other hand, if analyzing through the states and genders, South Australia and Queensland have more women who choose to eat more healthy food. In contrast, New South Whales and Victoria consist of more health-conscious men.

In short, it's not entirely wrong or bad to dine outside. Common misconception is the outside food, mainly fast food, are bad for our health. However, if we can choose wisely and do in control, eat out more is definitely a great choice. People can socialize more and give our mind a moment of rest. =)
