Cooking Food Is Boring
The youths these days are so intelligent yet very immature. They have great knowledge about relationship but know a little about the most common habit which holds relationships or a family and gives them energy by feeding their bellies, lol.
Todays's era is so much involved in temptations and digital life that they hardly give importance to survival activities.
When I learned about the things which I'm going to mention below, a thought came into my mind about how these young people will survive in future.
During the pandemic time, I had to pamper a family of children of my age 20, one boy and one girl a year older. One was a full-time digital geek and the girl was a bookworm. Both were excellent in their studies. For sometimes my parents compared me to them a lot.
I was also a top student but I used to study less compared to them, I used to give 20% of their effort yet in higher studies I scored above 80%. I thought them to be cool but never considered them better. It's what I am. I never underestimate myself.
So what happened is that during the pandemic, their mother got ill and was hospitalised and so the father had to accompany her and I was asked to help them and give them some cheerful company. I agreed and so I went to their house early in the morning. I saw them busy with their books and techs. I asked them what was for breakfast they said nothing they don't know anything to make.
I asked them what about Maggie ( instant noodles ) it takes 2-3 minutes to make it, they said they don't know to make that also. Can you imagine this, not being able to cook anything at the age of 20 and above? Then I realised their father told me that they don't know to cook food so please help them. I expected them to at least know something. But they were complete noob.
This is not the right thing for how long that study or money will feed you, I said to them. How will you or your future family survive? At least learn the basics of cooking food just the major meals. First, they gave me a mean look but later were ashamed of themselves. As I taunted them with my cunning words how incapable and dependent they are! The food made in your kitchen and made by your hands is the healthiest food you can have. Can't guarantee you the taste, lol.But with time it gets better.
After two days of serving the prince and princess finally, their parents came back healthy and happy and I scolded them for not teaching them the basics of survival. Their mom said she tried many times but they ignore her and preferred ordering food.
I started cooking around the age of 15. I only do it when my mother's tired or nobody wants to cook. I still don't know how to make a lot of dishes but I know how to make major meals from which I can survive being healthy.
I found out that my cousins living in cities are of the same type as that prince and princess and said something like 'Cooking Food is boring only eating is fun' whereas those cousins living in my villages are 100 times ahead of me in the cooking field.
So what's the problem people find cooking uninteresting. I think the answer is clear.
Final Thoughts
This post isn't directed to anyone who doesn't know how to cook or finds it uninteresting.
But this is not something to ignore or be uninterested in, it's a survival activity which comes in handy in critical situations.
And answer one question, when everyone in your family is ill who will serve them clean and nutritious food. Your neighbour, a restaurant?
The food ordered isn't that clean or healthy. The healthiest food is made in your kitchen.
No matter how much we evolve through technology we should never forget the basic survival habits of human life. We are being dependent too much on facilities and becoming lazy. Don't be lazy or dependent, know the tricks of survival they come in handy when you are left alone. At least learn to make the basic meals!
Sorry, if I sound rude but everyone must learn how to cook food, it's beneficial for you as well as your current and future family.

You are right, the healthiest food is food that we prepare ourselves. It will be healthier if you grow your own what you eat.
