Kitchens

In Verta Mae Grosvernor's "The Kitchen Crisis," she is trying to convince us that kitchens are getting smaller and smaller. Sooner or later there will probably be no kitchens at all in houses, apartments, and etc., except for in businesses. Most people go out to eat for every meal because they do not know how to cook. I work at a restaurant, and sometimes I am there from morning until night and I might see some people for both lunch and dinner.

I agree with her that we could possibly "see the end of kitchens." The kitchens now days are basically just for looks or a place to keep food brought from eating out.

People talk about how they eat too much or they eat fattening food, so they think by taking diet pills, they will lose their weight. Well Grosvernor shows us that people actually take "instant lunch pill" because they do not have time to make food. Taking these lunch pills are basically the same as taking diet pills because you are not really eating.

Grosvernor makes a good point when she talks about everything we make in our kitchens are instant meals. She also mentions that when people ask or mention food, almost everyone says "i'm a bad cook." People would not be bad cooks if they actually had all the time to sit in their kitchens and cook the best meal they can. If you try to make the food with creativity, love, and are serious about what you are cooking, then you can make good food to put out on the table. If you just do not care about what you cook, then it will turn out bad.

When she says that "food is life," I think that's true. If we did not have food, we would not be living in this world today. I do not like how she says "you are what you eat," because I do not think thats true for all people.
