You can greatly improve the quality of the
food you eat just by going back to cooking
meals like your mother (or maybe grandmother)
used to do.
There are tons of chemicals in your food to
increase shelf life and looks, most of which
have not been tested for safety in any significant
way.
And cooking can be very relaxing and mentally
rewarding. You fix a nice meal or maybe bake
something tasty and everyone appreciates it.
People are too busy to enjoy the day these days.
And they feel crappy because of their crappy
diets. Way too much sugar, way too much processing,
and way too many additives. And all of that makes
food more expensive, also.
