In the busy and hectic daily life we live in, we often have no time to visit a restaurant or cook.
Then we resort to ordering food from home or the workplace. With the advancement of technology, it is possible for this to happen not only on the phone, but also on a computer or smartphone.
It turns out, however, that these methods, supposedly designed to make our lives easier, actually harm us. Ordering food online is more dangerous for our figure than ordering food in the classic way in restaurants, say scientists, whose study was published in the journal Management Science.
Experts from the University of Toronto, Canada, the National University of Singapore and Duke University in the United States found something really disturbing after looking at information on 160,000 pizza orders submitted by 56,000 households.
It has become clear to scientists that foods ordered via smartphone or computer contain about 3.5 percent more calories than meals ordered in restaurants.
After the analysis, the experts found that when ordering food online, people spend more money and choose mostly fatty and high-calorie specialties such as pizza.
The authors of the study explain that when people order food online and not face to face, as in restaurants, they do not strive so much to eat healthily and allow themselves to stagger.
In addition, when ordering food on the Internet, there are usually options that allow the consumer twice as much as any ingredient in the dish, and this is quite tempting for gourmets.
Until recently, ordering food at home was more typical of Western countries, but in recent years it has become increasingly popular in Bulgaria. A survey conducted earlier this year also shows which dishes Bulgarians most often order online.
It turns out that both pizzas and sandwiches remain the gentlemen's favorites. The fairer sex are experimenting with Italian cuisine and fresh salads.
