                                According to a 2019 survey by Statistics Canada, 54% of Canadians eat out or purchase takeout food once a week or more, highlighting that a weekly meal away from home is a common habit. The question of whether this is a 'bad' practice, however, lacks a simple yes or no answer and depends heavily on individual circumstances, priorities, and choices.
