EATING out
EATING fast food sold at roadsides has become quite common. But, the flies buzzing over the food and the unclean plates and leaves used provide a conducive atmosphere for the spread of jaundice and typhoid. Such food outlets should be banned immediately. Youth must start eating at home.

THE present eating culture is thriving due to the changed lifestyle. So much so that people have been forced to allocate some amount in their monthly budget for eating out. Children enjoy going to hotels and adults see it as a welcome change. Though not healthy, eating out has become inevitable.

IT is a change for the better. Nowadays, families find it difficult to get together during weekdays. Dining out, besides being a platform for a family get-together, breaks the monotony in the food pattern. However, one should ensure that the expenditure fits into the budget.

DINING out is not a pleasure, as many don't know table manners. Noisy chatters apart, many spit and scatter food all over the table and make life miserable for those sharing the table. When this is the sight that greets the eye, one is left with no other option than walking out.

WITH people beginning to adapt to the fast-paced life, eating out twice or thrice a week has almost become a way of life. It is not uncommon to see youngsters sharing a cup of coffee with friends in coffee pubs. However, this should not become a routine affair.

EATING out is on the rise in Coimbatore and the mushrooming wayside eateries are an indication of this trend. As the city is facing a severe water crisis, this culture will have a detrimental effect on the health of the populace. Health authorities should check the quality of food and water in hotels and eateries.

THIS has had a terrible impact on the health of people. Even the rich come in luxury cars to gorge on the junk food being sold in handcarts on the roadside in unhygienic conditions.

NOWADAYS, women have started to share the burden of running the family. Having lunch or dinner in hotels once a week provides them the much-needed relief after days of stressful work. But, on the flip side, traditional dishes are slowly disappearing from dining tables.

COIMBATORE has undergone lot of change in the past few years in its culinary preferences. People are more attracted towards North Indian dishes like chaat now, unhygienic conditions notwithstanding.
They have even started forgetting traditional food, which is cooked without adding preservatives, addicted as they are to new-age foods.

PATRONS of eating out are working couples, who consider dining out once a week a happy family get- together, passionate gourmands searching to sample various cuisines at food festivals and bachelors reluctant to cook. Restaurants in Coimbatore are overflowing with people from different walks of life, especially during the weekends. However, they need to be cautious while choosing good hotels.

OVER the past few years, there has been an increase in pizzerias and joints selling salad, chaat and other fast-food items. Although many of these places have a pleasant ambience and have become hotspots for youngsters and families, one has to take care of the health and the purse. If at all one must eat out, it is better to opt for salad bars in order to avoid excessive intake of cholesterol-heavy foods.
