subject: The Task Of Preparing Family Meal [print this page] Mother knows bestMother knows best. This is the usual line that we hear. The cook in the family is mostly the mothers. Because she knows their favorite foods. In the present time, mothers are already working to help the husband in providing family needs. This is why the fathers are now learning to do kitchen chores sometimes.
But still moms are pointed as chefs at home. This is one of the reasons that contributes to overweight. Since moms dont have the time they used to have to cook, most of the time the only solution will be to buy "read to eat" foods. As we all know most, if not all of this kind of foods are not has healthy as homemade food, and usually have loads of fat which increases obesity problems.
About 40% of the men cook at home. But after 2 months, only 13% of all meals are prepared by the men.
This percentage is decreasing because most of the men dont like to cook and they think that preparing meals is not their function in the family. They are wrong.
In order to try to increase this percentage, many movements were created. To try to persuade them to cook, food magazines, cooking shows, and websites were made with that purpose.
But despite all of these, lots of men still remain not interested in cooking. Women however, can help this. Women should try to involve men in this activity. Sharing recipe collections might be good and encourage men to cook.
Perhaps the only way to convince a father to cook is to bring the whole family into the kitchen. If everyone cooperate and help each other when preparing the meals, the father will see this as a bonding experience and might do it more times and even might start liking cooking.
Hopefully one day men will start to cook. Until that day, if you are a women, then try to persuade your husband/partner. Now if you are a men, then you should help your wife/partner. If you do she will be grateful and you might get lucky :)
