After a long day at work, are you often faced with the dilemma of cooking versus ordering food? Each choice has its pros and cons, which makes the decision more difficult. Recently, a video on this subject took Instagram by storm and won the hearts of many users who found it highly relatable. In the reel by Jon Ryan Sugimoto, we hear his inner monologue play out when he realises he is hungry. He tells himself that he should cook instead of getting delivery. He feels the latter can help him save time. On the other hand, making food at home can save money. If he gets food delivered, he realises it tends to be tastier. But cooking will allow him to eat a healthier meal. Delivery would allow him to choose any dish of his liking while cooking would instil a sense of pride in what he's able to make.
