So basically, this is for women who can’t get satisfaction for doing a job well done but need the external reward (ie a paycheck- it’s like the trophy for every kid participating!) when contributing to their family.
A portion of the obesity issues MIGHT have to do with the fact that feminists have systematically demonized any sense of family priorities including meal preparation. I think there is now a fractured link between generations on basic recipes. I know how to make a pot of green beans taste good. I have friends who don’t unless they got some crazy overspiced,cheese laden, 30 step recipe from Pinterest.
These women were proud of the fact that they didn’t cook. Then they got married and had children. Going to their houses is almost amusing. It’s the same wide-eyed look as they exclaim “I’m learning!” They don’t have a choice now as it’s expensive to eat out and they realize taking toddlers to a restaurant is not only mentally exhausting for them, but abuse to other patrons.
A lot more people cook at home than we think and many can get vegetables, etc, by themselves. Just because they don’t live in the author’s perfect world doesn’t mean they aren’t serving decent meals.
BTW- I believe that obesity factors fit better on a matrix than some linear check box of items. We can’t blame just one thing.
We need your green bean recipe.
I can’t think of anything more fun or rewarding than putting plates of food on the table and watching friends and family lap it down and then head into the kitchen looking for more. When this doesn’t happen (and sometimes it doesn’t!), my evening is ruined.
