Not being able and willing to cook for themselves is a huge factor in the obesity problems the nation is facing. You owe it to your kid to show them how food is prepared. Even if they only know how to do 5 dishes, chances are they won't order out and eat out every day in college and later in life.

I know tons of people that don't know how to cook and seem to have no interest in it either. I think it is laziness. In the time they drive to pick up take out food, you can have a basic meal prepared and on the table at a fraction of the cost, additives and calories.
