We eat at home most nights, with food cooked from scratch. That was a decision made for several reasons -- philosophical, practical, financial and environmental among them.

Also, two out of three household members have allergies to very common foods (wheat, tomatoes) and making our own food from scratch is the simplest way of making sure nobody's going to be accidentally exposed to allergens.

We've been trying to eat less meat recently, and aim for 2 red meat, 1 white meat, 3 vegetarian and one fish meal per week. Seems to be working well so far.
