Doesn't Anybody Go Out to Eat Anymore?

Bottom line: I can prepare tasty meals faster, healthier and cheaper at home.

Yes! After my daughter and I went out to dinner on Saturday (at a casual burger chain), I could literally taste the sodium in my food (fish and chips basket). I was drinking water and Gatorade for hours afterward.

I think I'm getting more sensitive to sodium as I get older. I never used to notice it, but now I definitely can.

Forgive me folks, for yesterday was father's day, a holiday I dread, and one that is always a very difficult day for me.

I'm sorry. I always dread Mother's Day myself.

Overpriced, too much drop in quality and food value. Way too much salt and sugar.

Yup. I'd add poor/indifferent service to that in many instances. Not all, of course.

We occasionally eat out but very rarely. The only time we eat out is out of necessity. We eat much better food at home and know exactly what’s in the food and how it’s been handled.

I’m really sensitive to sodium and always have been but the older I get the more it affects me. I can feel it in my veins. It makes me extra thirsty.

I eat out a lot. I have an account with my clubhouse that sends me a bill once per month.

Same here. I've also notice how fat-heavy restaurant foods have become, salads included. The dressings are nearly the consistency of mayonnaise, or if a "light" dressing, they're nevertheless almost all oil and very little lemon juice or vinegar.

Nope. Over priced, over salted, often poor quality and poorer service amongst people with poor manners. I'm a good cook and home is peaceful.
