I know that many students go to college early in the morning. Listening to classes can drain the energy out of many and when the final bell rings for lunch break then everyone knows that it's time to take in some food down. I would take my lunchbox as my mom prepares great food everyday and i enjoy relishing on them. Sometimes if my mom is unwell or sick i would just eat food from the canteen which is quite good.
What do you prefer and why?
Cheers!

I prefer to have home made food for my lunch. Home made food is healthier and it is much more economical. And home made food is also delicious. I don't have to go out to have the lunch and it also spends me extra time. According to it, I like to bring my home made food for lunch.
I love China

I prefer home made foods. But my mom is always busy preparing foods. So I always end up buying foods in the canteen. It's good too, so I do not worry that much. What's nice about it is unlimited rice. We could always ask for another and it's for free. And I think that is the best part.

after go through you discussion and im have think back when i in high school. so, i prefer home made food not even just for lunch for my whole day menu. I dont like having my meal at canteen because the environment surrounding the canteen is dirty and the menu is always same for every day. i frustrated to having meal at there and when i see the menu would made me loss of appetite. So, Home made food always be my 1st choice!!!

Hi, raviteja_ravi84. I prefer to have my own food made while I am at college. Or if the cafeteria cooks, I will eat something out of there. Just as long as it is not too inexpensive. I don't like buying from the canteen because it is hardly any nutritious foods that I would like to eat. I love eating at the hospital. They cook and there are sandwiches in the canteen.

Even though my mom used to work, she made sure that she prepared breakfast and lunch for all three of us as well as my dad and made sure we took them along with us to school and college. And there is one secret ingredient called love which makes us relish home made food. Moreover, it is immensely tasty when you are hungry, don't you think?

I would rather bring home cooked meals than buy stuff at the pantry. Home cooked meals are more flavorful and are more nutritious. Plus, you get to have something different everyday. Too bad, I can't have that choice anymore because I'm living alone now and I hardly have the time to cook.

I will prefer home made food for lunch. Infact, I'm carrying a lunch box with me with home made food for taking lunch in the office. The home made food is more nutritous than the canteen food. Now a days the canteen food are only prepared as a means of earning money. It does not have any taste. Fresh home food is also bio-friendly.

i prefer home made, my mother cooks a lot before when i'm still with them but i no longer lives at home. i can't cook in my apartment but as much as i want to and in case if cooking is ok in my apartment, i still cant because i don't anything but fry stuff or use the oven. foods in our office is not that good so i prefer somewhere else aside from canteen.

I usually just buy food in uni during lunch or skip it all together. Thus the life of a university student who is struggling with money haha I usually have no time to prepare food in the morning since all my classes are in the morning and I have no choice but to eat in the cafe.

It is considered that home prepared food is good as it prepared in good hygenic condition and the person preparing it knows what is healthy food...but many a times it is not possible to have good home prepared food...Canteen food may not always be healthy though there are good canteen who do maintain hygenic condition and good kitchen environment...the food is also quite tasty...
I would prefer home food for healthy reason though I won't mind eating food in canteen...i like the canteen food, also for a change from the routine home cooked food.

Much as i prefer home cooked food, but it's quite inconvenient to eat it in school, with a takeaway container. Though canteen food are not as healthy, but they are definitely tastier!
I won't say my mom's cooking is bad, but at least when i'm eating canteen food, i have the choice to choose what i want to eat, rather than having the fixed choice of what i don't really like, but it's beneficial to me.
