Just been thinking about it. Promotes healthy eating, but it also seems regressive. Is healthy food subsidies the better option? How do you implement it? Maybe healthy food subsidies financed by junk food tax seem like the best option? Discuss

    I’m not disagreeing that teaching cooking in public school has some merit. It will, however, mostly benefit those that can actually make time for cooking at home, and that have the time to make a meal plan beyond “oh shit I need to eat today before catching the bus to my night job.”

      Weellll... think about it from the prospective of trying to incubate the idea that "being able to cook a meal at home" as a part of our culture.

      Sure, "today" will see that only certain portions of society will be able to regularly cook meals at home for themselves or their family, but make it a normal thing that people might be inclined to think of as "normal" and maybe people will be more likely to fight for it "tomorrow."
