To live in the competitive society, people are working harder than ever and they have no time to waste. Regarding many people would rather eat out than cook at home, the time or skill of cooking is disappearing. Moreover, many mothers are working out to make a living ,which is different in the past; mothers usually stay at home with their kids, cooking for them. Therefore, children are likely to enjoy instant food such as hamburgers, noodles, and junk foods. In this respect, I strongly insist that children should learn how to cook in order to serve foods by themselves at home.
To begin with, children can cook and eat more healthy food if they learn the cooking skiils. It is reported in OO newspaper that the health state of kids under the age of 20 is worse than that of the kids of 15 years ago. It is largely because increasing number of children have eaten instant food for the absence of parents at home. If children learn to cook by themselves, they can prepare a bunch of salubrious vegetables and organic stuff and have it for their meal.
Secondly, learning the cooking skills will provide the pride of own country. The trend nowadays is that many fusion foods and instant foods have been introduced and many native foods have lost their national identity. In the result, children hardly know the specialties of the food of their own countries. If they learn how to cook, they can realize which food belongs to their country and get pride of their country. For example, my younger brother, who hates to eat Korean food, learned how to cook a Korean special soup for the birthday. After learning, he enjoys to know about more recipes of Korean food and enjoys eating it.
In the conclusion, teaching kids how to cook is beneficial not only for maintaining healthy diets but also for getting know about their country. Therefore, in this busy society, children should learn cooking skills from school and get sound body as well as constructive national pride. Then, there will be no more worries about disappearnce of the cooking skills.
