Oprah's show was perhaps an eye opener for the three families involved in the cooking makeovers, but what about you? Did you get to see the program yesterday? How many of you missed it? How many of you could benefit from someone coming into your kitchen and showing you how to do stuff like that? "Teaching you to fish", as it were. I would love to do that for you. For your family, in your kitchen, however, I am not in a position to do that voluntarily. My family has been affected by the economy just like yours.
It seems unfortunate for everyone who is having difficulty transitioning from having money to having no money, from going out to eat or ordering in to having to instantly learn how to cook. This world has taught us the value of materialism and then yanked the rug right out from under our feet.
Especially affected I believe are the younger generation who have been raised on fast food. Home economics and lifeskills are just not taught like they were when I was growing up. So they are completely dependant on their parents and any other person willing to teach these kids the things they need to know. There is a saying, "It takes a village to raise a child", we need to view them as part of our village and help them learn how to cope and grow in a healthy way.
