It’s not like we’re becoming unhealthier
According to the USDA Millennials are demanding healthier and fresher food This food, however, is generally “a larger share of prepared foods, pasta, and sugar and candies,” not food that is strictly home cooked. While we are health conscious, we have become unmotivated to cook
Eating is an activity almost everyone must partake in three times a day for the rest of their lives. There is not a food replacement that will compare to a hot cooked meal I’m not saying it’s bad to eat out, but everyone should have the skill to make their own food The kitchen can be scary and for women, at times, could feel degrading. However, it is the only way to ensure that the nutrients that are beneficial to you enter your body Restaurants and fast-food chains are a business
While you can choose healthier options, there are ingredients and chemicals in food that are often the cause health problems There are only a handful of businesses that will be fully transparent about every component that goes into their food. And to be frank eating out is much more expensive than eating at home There s a reason why when you asked your parents for McDonalds there was always, without a doubt, food at home
Though we shouldn’t lose hope just yet. The internet and mass media have a way of motivating people Especially the youth Joshua Weissman is a very popular cooking YouTuber, who got his start when he was on his own fitness journey He is a self-taught chef that teaches the youth about the fundamentals of cooking. That is butter, spices, sauces, etc In his comedic videos he goes in depth on what makes food taste good in your mouth and in your body
