Cooking at home is practice for those times when you have no other option but to prepare your own food because you’re too sick to go out, the power’s out all over town and no one is open to feed you, or one of the worst case scenarios pops up – nuclear disaster, electronic blackout (everything’s run by computers, if those go, so do most businesses, including restaurants and grocery stores), pandemics, or worse.
Cooking is a very simple skill. People have been doing it for thousands of years successfully. Men and women have been pretty equally responsible for cooking, it’s not a gender based skill. If you eat, you cook. 
There are lots of good reasons to eat at home, to cook for yourself and your family:
1. You can save a lot of money
2. You can save a lot of time
3. You can do other things while the food cooks
4. You don’t have to dress up or even be dressed or wear shoes
5. You can eat the food you grew
6. If you eat food you grew, it’s usually tastier and certainly fresher
7. You can fix it any way you like instead of taking what the restaurant serves
8. You have greater variety, including far more vegetables
9. You’re less likely to get food poisoning from contaminated foods
10. You know what’s in your food – important if you have food sensitivities and allergies. Many people discover they aren’t allergic to foods they thought they were – they’re allergic or sensitive to all the additives and extras put in the food: MSG, HFCS, artificial smoke, artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, oils, salt, sugar, and more. Perhaps the food isn’t quite so fresh – restaurants have been known to serve food past its expiration date and even past its safe-to-eat date.
