And that is fine, but I think this thread and these kinds of sentiment show that it IS superior to teach your kids how to cook and to understand that it doesn't have to be a boring slog.
Because then, when they are adults, they won't be discouraged because "it is too hard to get all the ingredients" or "it takes too long" because they'll have a better understanding of how to just roll with it. Maybe they won't be making fancy dishes ,but they also will understand how to do a twenty minute meal.
Case in point: You seem to think you have to be a foodie (screw that word and everything about it) to cook with your kids.
Going back to the sports analogy: No one is saying to force your kid to live outdoors. But taking the time to throw a ball around or take them on a hike or whatever conditions them to associate physical activity with fun which, in turn, encourages them to do it on their own.
