“Americans have forgotten how to cook.”
“Americans have forgotten how to cook.”

At a US Department of Agriculture event on Wednesday, Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. announced that his department is moving to teach Americans how to cook again.
As part of the SNAP updates announcement, Kennedy, noting how expensive getting fast food can be compared to getting fresh ingredients, said, "one of the challenges we’re facing and that we’re working on, all kinds of innovative devices to solve, is that Americans have forgotten how to cook."

"The convenience of fast food is one of the things that attracts them. And many of them don’t have cutlery, they don’t have pots and pans, they don’t have cutting boards, and they don’t know how to shop.
"And one of the things that we’re talking about now to HHS is to use the Commission Corps or other groups within our agency to go out and actually teach people to cook."
He later added that cooking and eating together as a family is a "sacred ritual" amid a time when families are fragmenting and children are spending more time on social media. "It’s something that brings families together for an hour or two hours a day where they talk, where they interact, where they work together on an act of creation, and then they eat together in this wonderful ritual that brings families together and reconnects them to each other."
"We need to figure out ways to bring us all back together, and food is the way to do that. It is opening the door to bring all Americans back together to give them good food to eat and reteach them that ritual of cooking."
