Cooking is a survival skill. The better you can cook, the better you survive. Cooking also helps you to be of some use to the people around you, too. Those who do not cook should start. Those who actually brag that they cannot cook - I've heard them - are imbecilic.
I began learning to cook 30 years ago. I cook almost everything I eat. With few exceptions I like my own cooking better than anyone else's. I can get dinner for two on the table in half an hour, if I need to.
Men don't cook because they think women are supposed to. Women don't cook because they think women are supposed to. Mothers don't teach their children to cook because they can't cook themselves. And the Food Industry laughs all the way to the bank.
Do you think MSG is food? Do you think salt is bad for you? Do you think eggs are bad for you? Do you eat meat from animals that are fed excrement? Do you think a tomato is supposed to look the same on the shelf for a month? Can you even pronounce the last three ingredients in any prepared food? Do you know that a Monsanto man runs the FDA?
No, you don't need to become a chemist. But in between chemist and complete idiot there is a middle ground. Go there.
