Improve nutrition ...

Very interesting post.

I think this is the only culture on the planet where homemaking is not considered a skilled trade. So no one teaches the younger ones how to cook nutritious foods. I also think all kids, boys and girls, should take some home ec and shop classes in junior high and high school.

I agree. Actually, when I went to public school in NYC, we all had to take “Home Ec” in 7th grade. They had about ten little mini-kitchens in a big class room and assigned us to the kitchens in groups of four, which usually meant two boys and two girls.

For the most part, the boys did nothing except eat the finished product and occasionally wash the dishes…how little things changed as we got older, LOL!

But it was kind of fun, all of us got the basic principles and a bit of information about nutrition and its importance.

Skilled trade?

Home making is actually looked down on even on FR. You are a parasite leaching off the poor down trodden male that you conned into marrying you.

You laze around all day eating bonbons and watching daytime tv.
