I am writing with regard to the post "Indeed, there is no better food than the one made at home" (Feb. 17). Of course, quality food and quality restaurants/food corners/hotels are understandably more expensive than cheap ones. Having said that, inexpensive does not mean that it is necessary to compromise cleanliness and hygiene. In the present day, the situation is that most families are nuclear and that both parents are working. In some cases, this means that eating homemade food is not possible and eating out is the only option. This is why the local municipal authorities must monitor restaurants and control the quality of the food that is being offered to the public. Rafiqul Islam, Online response
