When you make your own food in your own home, zero people pour high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oil, and spoon out a few tablespoons of polysorbate 80 from their Costco Valu-sized bucket. It just doesn’t happen.
This is just one reason it’s healthier to make your own food in your own home. And this is something that we have forgotten as a culture.
For example, in my mom’s day, women were coached (by the TV Dinner people and others, remember Salisbury “Steak”?) that the modern woman shouldn’t be bothered. And the idea of men cooking? Please.
That’s why it’s great news that, according to the Nutrition Journal, cooking at home increased from 2003 to 2016. And I love this one — the percent of college-educated men cooking increased 14 percentage points up to 51.9%! By contrast, college-educated women who cook was already pretty high at 64.7%, but also nudged up to 68.7%.
The more we make our own food, the healthier we will be, and the more independent we’ll be from the need to eat out, consume pre-packaged processed food products.
