Should I change "I like the fact" into "I like it that?" Can I use either "I," "you" or "people"?

A: In a dinner outside the home I like the fact that you/I/people don't have to wash the dishes.
B: In a dinner outside the home I like it that you/I/people don't have to wash the dishes.
 
Try:

I like eating out because when I do that I don't have to wash dishes.
 
"In a dinner outside the home" is completely unnatural.
 
You can use "you" or "I" but not "people". When you eat out, someone has to wash the dishes - a member of the kitchen staff.
