Why doesn’t it ever occur to Socialists to “Teach a Man to Fish..?” Oh, that’s right! The more GOVERNMENT can stick their nose where it doesn’t belong for one single minute...the better! ; )
However, it annoys me to no end that people in America no longer know how to prepare a basic, nutritious meal for themselves and rely on fast food every day to feed themselves. They don’t even know where their food comes from, or that it’s totally possible to learn to bake a loaf of bread or make a pot of soup! I work with a lot of cool women...and most of them don’t know how to cook! My boss brings a frozen food entre every day for lunch, and is in a panic this week because her husband is out of town and she’s actually alarmed as to how to feed herself! Eeek! (He left her frozen foods and frozen pizza.)
When I rule the world, everyone will be issued a basic cookbook, a weekly shopping list of basic foodstuffs and a set of pots & pans and bake ware, LOL!
Ask Gabz. I’m not kidding. :)
And guess what? I won't Nanny-state ping about it!!!
EVERYNE should know how to cook, even if it is only scrambling eggs or cooking rice. My late first husband was so inept he wasn't even capable of boiling water for tea without difficulty
People incapable of cooking anything that does not come out of the frozenfood section of the supermarket drive me insane, and I know plenty of them. Yes, I do keep some of those kinds of things in my freezer for nights when we've got stuff going on, but they are definitely not staples.
My 9 year old has been helping make fresh pasta since she was 4, she helps me make jelly, helps me with canning, and can make a loaf of bread without any help.
People are just too danged lazy, as far as I'm concerned.
