Why Because they are fast and easy for me to prepare. When I get up in the morning I don t have time to make breakfast from basic ingredients like bacon and eggs. I have to get ready and leave my house early so I can get to work on time. I usually eat some yogurt and a banana. Sometimes I buy a bagel on the way to work. After work I m too tired to make dinner from basic ingredients so I just put some spaghetti or a chicken dinner into the microwave and I can have a hot meal quickly. You pay more for ready-to-eat meals but I don t mind. Besides I hate cooking and washing dishes. To sum up I prefer to eat ready-to-eat meals.
