    This is so true. I find there are plenty of ways to enjoy vegetables on the cheap or lower the effects of rot on foods. I feel like people don’t realize that 2000s is the year that current adults as kids grew up in. It is so much better back than after 2008 and 2020(current generation) are having to deal with but still it was a solved problem.

    Yet people don’t really see what was talking about. I wasn’t alluding to the vegetables, but rather how kids are not willing enough to learn to cook or take initiative when they don’t enjoy something.

    It isn’t easy to cook but I still helped my little brother. I wish when I was a kid, I learned to cook. My mom made the best foods though, and I lived pretty much happy with vegetables. I love salads. It is sad how many are not liking salads or vegetables as much.

      I was essentially banned from the kitchen when I was a kid, so I learned to cook and bake as an adult. It’s cooking, not jedi training, you cannot age out of learning it.

        I guess, but really I had some bad habits and didn’t know how to make anything more than simple dishes like spaghetti and meatballs. Salads seemed like way too much effort until you get the proper technique to chop them up. I understand what you mean but I still wish I had learned it as a kid. The muscle memory/technique to hone in on would have been nice before I became an adult and had to rely on eating out or eating random stuff at home because I also never learned to plan out meals properly. I guess there is more to it than cooking is what I am saying.
