Over the last year, I've gradually moved more and more towards making my own food at home. There are several reasons for this: it tastes better, it reduces preservative intake, it's more nutritious, and it's often substantially cheaper than what you find in the store. It does take time, but once you get used to it, most food preparation doesn't take much more time than going to the store, buying it, taking it home, popping it out of the package, and following the directions.
Breadmaking is a prime example of this phenomenon. Homemade bread is substantially tastier than store-purchased bread, isn't laden with preservatives, is very inexpensive to make, and doesn't take all that much time, either.
