Did their parents always take them out to eat or order food, because, more than not taking home ec, they would have had to be completely blind to any cooking going on in the house their whole lifetime?
Yeah this is a nice line of thinking but I disagree. Why would a kid pay attention before the food was ready. Even before the internet, we always found better things to do.
The bigger question is did the parents not involve their kids in the food preparation at any point? They should be part of it from a young age, helping to the extent they’re able, to start developing this knowledge.
I wrote above about my younger kid exploding a glass measuring cup on the stovetop, but that was because it was the first time we let him do it unsupervised after he had succeeded repeatedly with our help … I don’t remember how little he was at the time, whether that was middle school or before. The point was we involved him, he learned a few things, and still needed a dramatic lesson
Yeah we find better things to do, but 18 years is a long time to have never ever seen any part of the cooking process.
