I was talking about the cost of preparation of something decent in comparison to the cost of McDonald's in Finland. Stuff is expensive here, so if my wife and I were to eat the takeaway, it would be around 16€ - for that, we can make several pretty damn good salads. And in terms of convenience, it would take us about 20 minutes to drive to and from the restaurant.
The difference in feel after?
In terms of government policy though - they prefer me to eat takeaway, even though they don't explicitly say it. It happens through their view of the economy as being indicative of population health.
I think this is a problem where live as well, peoples diet has changed completely over the past twenty years with KFC, McDonald's and many more arriving here. Due to crime we never travel after sundown, restaurants normally one night out in rural places where food is still served at highest standards.
For me to make fresh salad, vegetable, fruits and meats still works out more economical in comparison to buying any takeaway, most times my homemade tastes better! For 5 adults I could comfortably say I could make an exceptionally good meal with all four components not exceeding US$25.00, shopping at stores I know carry fresh local produce or directly from market.
Pizza approximately US$8.80 plus $4 delivery fee. Local KFC/Nando's chicken US$15.00, Nando's got cheeky with additional per item $4.50 delivery fee. (Estimated conversion used here ZAR 17 to US$ 1) Nando's now phoning previous clientele offering "free" delivery.
Government will support food outlets, more tax collectable, most vegetables/fruits here are tax exempt.
I am glad I don't live in a place where crime and violence is a constant personal threat. This world is a mess.
It works out far cheaper to eat at home for us - far, far cheaper. And (when we have a kitchen again) it does taste better , as well is also more satisfying in some way. It gets the "made it myself" feeling - even if it isn't perfect :)
That is cheeky on the delivery fee....
Growing up learning to cook with my Dad, we grew a lot of our own I think he instilled personal pride and satisfaction serving fresh and healthy.
Savings in preparing adds up quickly, knowledge of what you eating, most fast food services today use cheap cuts doused in crumbs, who knows what you putting into your body.
Have a wonderful day!
This is very terrible...So ordering food is cheaper...In Nigeria, our government subsidises everything, because everyday Nigerian wouldn't be able to afford it if they didn't. We are getting poorer as a nation and there are no good plans to standardise prices except by borrowing more and more.
Basically subsidising fuel brings down the price of everything in the country because we use fuel to transport food across the country. If the prices of fast food were cheaper in the country that would be absolutely ridiculous.
Too many going to bed without a meal, many staple foods are tax exempt yet prices still high, resulting in more people growing some produce in their gardens.
Fast food outlets may make their prices cheaper, who knows what they mix into their patties for burgers, how often oil is changed for cooking.
In comparison buying and cooking in ones own kitchen at home is still very much a healthier option saving on doctors bills later.
I don't even want to imagine all of that. The oil is polymers would be altered and useless just so they can feed people and make them fat so those people can come out and shame people for trying to be fit all in name of body positivity.
Good bowl of traditional home food like Granny made through times of recession still healthier compared to cheap takeaway outlets !LOLZ
🤗🤗❤️❤️ Moms are the best. Too bad the world is doing away with anything traditional.
Have a great day, yes the choice is still there, it takes a little effort!
Very true...It's very clear this is how they think when you see public-private partnerships spring up. If they do not have people to use these things it would look very stupid...
