We’ve all been there: we get home utterly exhausted after a long day. Then, the dreaded question… what’s for dinner? The last thing we want to do is think about what to cook for ourselves, let alone the rest of our family. So we resort to takeout to quickly satisfy our cravings.

Then the guilt sets in.

I could have prepared a healthy meal. I should not have fed my kids fast food for the second time this week. I should be saving my money for that trip I’ve planned.

The Home Chef team surveyed 1,000 Americans about their eating and cooking habits. The results showed that 75 percent of people never, rarely, or only occasionally eat healthy foods.

Over 50 percent of those surveyed believe they are or may be overweight. When asked why:

· 60 percent said the portion sizes they eat are too large

· 52 percent said their family doesn’t know how to buy healthy food

· 25 percent said their family doesn’t have time to cook healthy meals

· 16 percent said their family doesn’t know how to cook healthy meals

When asked why they do not eat healthy meals:

· 58 percent said the convenience of fast food/ food delivery is too appealing

· 51 percent said time was a factor

· 44 percent said money was a factor

…We have a healthy solution.
