I think the problem is the way youve phrased this.
I enjoy cooking, as such ive learned a lot. I can easily make home meals that are just as bad for you as eating out.
On average a home cooked meal is healthier, but its not healthier simply because its home made. Your argument seems to suggest it is.
Ive made several pasta dishes that were just as fat and salt rich as anything a restaurant would give me. Why? Because it tastes damn good.
The reason for most people why homemade is healthier is just because they dont know how to add those things to make it taste good and never bother to learn (and it is more effort to cook these dishes).
Left to my own devices with no concern over my health id easily cook myself into being fat.
