In an effort to teach children healthy food habits, one proposed solution is to make cooking mandatory in British schools.
Yup, nothing makes kids want to do something more than forcing them to do it. And those that love it? Have you ever heard the phrase "Never trust a skinny chef"?
Now that I got my knee-jerk American-rugged-individualist opinion off my chest. I do sorta like the idea, in the way that I feel as if I missed out by not taking home economics. I think that everyone should be able to feed themselves on any budget and with any food preferences. When you have control of your food, you can make it as plain or fancy, bold or mild, mundane or exotic as you like.
An added benefit, when children learn how to prepare foods on their own, they are more likely to try new things. This is a big plus if they have grown up in environments where the parents haven't been cooks. Also a big bonus if there are food sensitivities and allergies, celiac disease, and so on. Kids will feel empowered to take care of themselves as thew grow up.
Don't wait for your local school to come through for you! You can start cooking with your kids today!
