Even now that I am older, I much prefer home cooked meals and will only ever have fast food as a treat ever once in a while.

It sounds like you had a wonderful experience with home-cooked meals growing up, and it's great to hear that those values have stayed with you into adulthood. Home-cooked meals often bring a sense of comfort and nostalgia, not to mention the benefits of knowing exactly what's in your food and being able to control the ingredients and portion sizes.

Preparing meals at home can also be a creative and rewarding process, allowing you to explore different cuisines and cooking techniques. Plus, it can be a great way to bond with family or friends by cooking and enjoying meals together.

It's important to strike a balance, and treating yourself to fast food occasionally, as you do, can be a nice change of pace without feeling like you're missing out. Maintaining this balance between home-cooked meals and occasional treats is a healthy approach to enjoying food.
