I put a lot of emphasis on cooking.

If you're cooking one day a week, try to cook two days a week.

I think being incremental in the changes is really important and not as daunting.

as saying, well, you gotta cook a meal every night of the week.

A lot of people can't do that.

So if you're cooking, you're automatically eating better food.

Even if you're frying it, you know, whatever you're doing, it's gonna be better than ultra processed food.

And you don't have to worry about counting calories or nutrients.

All those things kind of take care of themselves with home cooked food.

I think also we've complicated cooking in our heads.

I mean, we've lost the transmission of cooking from one generation to the other.

We've also lost, I don't know about in the UK, but in the US we used to have what we called home economics classes where, and it was totally gendered and the girls learned how to cook and the boys learned how to make a Japanese lamp.

And that's what I remember.

We need to bring that back, but for both genders, I think, because the parents may not know how to cook anymore.

It's completely different.

Yeah, you can get your onion already sliced.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, exactly.

So there are advantages.

There's a lot of convenience offered.
