A whole generation has grown up without the foggiest idea of nutrition, let alone how to cook.

Again, this was discussed on a previous thread (possibly Spank or no spank) and the general conclusion is that sex discrimination is a two edged sword. Yes, we have women who are capable of building walls, designing aeroplanes and stripping out an engine, but at the cost of what? What happened to 'Home economics' - teaching children how to cook nutritious and tasty meals with a limited budget, how to prepare food, how to clean a house? We've given women the opportunities to be taught the same as men, but where did the reverse chances go? Where are the boys taking Needlework and Domestic Science?

It's not always the case that junk food is more expensive - compare the £1.49 McDonalds' burger with the £2.49 Sainsburys' salad bowl or the £3.10 grilled chicken and salad sandwich from Benjys. I know which I'd be picking if money were tighter.
