▲ 207 ▼ Cooking classes should be mandatory in school. (lemmy.ca) submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by someguy3@lemmy.ca to c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world 99 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.
