Going out to eat is great. For people on the go, fast food is a godsend. Not only does it save you from all the work of cooking, but it’s also a social activity. You can go out to dinner and bond with your family, or go out to lunch to catch up with an old friend. But even though going out to eat can be fun and tasty, it can also be expensive and unhealthy.
