Part of it was fighting for better wages for men so that their wives could stay home and take care of it and raise the children well, and home economics courses were developed to teach them to cook and clean. There were also campaigns against drunkenness and promiscuity.<br /><br />Modern elites have totally lost any sense of noblesse oblige and appear to either not care or actively encourage degenerate lifestyles among the underclass.<br /><br />BTW, I honestly can't understand how any woman can dislike cooking. I'd rather cook and bake than clean:)Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-9915375308350163232018-03-28T09:26:03.834-07:002018-03-28T09:26:03.834-07:00It has become difficult to find any woman in my ci...It has become difficult to find any woman in my circles who enjoys cooking. The older ones do it sometimes, but resent it. Many of the ones my age claim they are too busy to cook. Many of my younger friends simply don't know how because their working mothers never cooked. It is quite tragic and it seems to be hurting the less educated, lower middle classes and lower classes the most. The elite have their meal delivery systems and can afford to eat at higher end restaurants. But everyone to some extent struggles with their weight.Mountain Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739127404862100035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-32084229221188699692018-03-26T14:03:55.881-07:002018-03-26T14:03:55.881-07:00Yes, isn't it strange how "poor people&qu...Yes, isn't it strange how "poor people" in the developed countries are all so fat. They sure have poor impulse control.

Availability of food (much of it fattening), larger portions, less activity and exercise, lack of knowledge, etc. Home cooking is usually best because I can control what goes into the dish or recipe and I can control the portions. Poverty in India or the Philippines looks decidedly different from "poverty" in the USA (or other developed countries that have a partial or full welfare state).
