It absolutely delights me when I see a healthy pack lunch and when people prepare and cook meals themselves. John an electrical project manager and Arsenal FC Steward from London always brings in healthy pack lunches to work. It is a rare sight for me, when the majority of people I see in London choose to grab convenience food.
John O’ Mahony gets a huge gold star from me; as he is the perfect example of someone who is conscious about what they are eating. The benefits of preparing your own food do outweigh the cons: A) You can choose what you like, tailor it to your taste requirements so your in control of the ingredients. B) It saves money. For example you can buy a loaf of bread, your fillings and salad which will give you a number of lunches for several days for a fraction of what you would spend on buying ready made sandwiches. C) Saves time- you can batch cook food and keep it in the fridge or freezer. It also saves time on your breaks- so instead of queuing and buying food you can enjoy your home prepared meal & have extra time left to spare.
