Why we need cooking class

http://publicschoolfood-q.blogspot.com/

Kids have become more and more fat. This is evidenced by the above blog. There are facts about school lunches and their link to rising obesity rates, and even one particuarly sad youtube clip that shows little kids not knowing what vegetables are. If kids were just more educated about things like this, then the health of america would rise dramatically. Instead of ordering takeout, maybe the future leaders of our country would be able to cook for themselves.

What will happen to our future? Can you imagine the scorn elected officials would face from the public if it was found they coudln't work with their hands, couldn't cook for their family, didn't know how to manage money because they never took a economics class. This will become reality, pretty soon, and the abilty to build a treehouse will be lost to most kids, just like the kid's abilty to tell the difference between a 'tomato' and 'potato' in the aforementioned video.
