We’re in an obesity epidemic and most people don’t know how to cook even very basic meals.

Make space for it, squish other classes if you need. Make it mandatory, everyone has to take it. Maybe even ongoing through multiple grades.

Edit: Rice, beans, and even basic meats are cheap. To eat healthy you don’t need your meal to be 100% Bell peppers and tomatoes.

    To be fair, there’s zero interest in most of what is taught in schools. Kids hate learning for the most part, unless it’s a rare topic that truly engages them. They’d rather be anywhere but school.

    We teach wealthy kids these important life skills, but we don’t teach the poorer kids. Hmmm.
