You may think that the chief reason for cooking food is to make it taste better. Actually, the changes cooking produces in food help us to digest it better. Cooking food also guards our health, because the heat destroys parasites and bacteria which might cause us harm.

No matter how good mother’s cooking is, we like to go out to a restaurant sometimes (if we can afford it). It’s not just because there’s different food to eat, but we also enjoy the “going out.”
