I can't wait to eat my lunchroom food!

I read this article by this guy named Will Chapman called "Everybody should like their mama's cooking" and he talked about his college days, when everyone anticipated holidays so that they could get home to their mama's cooking. Unfortunately for one of his friends, this was not the case. He not only disliked his mother's cooking, but actually preferred the lunch room food over his her cooking. This caught my attention. I mean, of course not every mother is going to be a wonderful cook, and it's not unbelievable to find one person who's mother cannot cook. However, it did make me think about the future of cooking and mother's as we know them.

Of course our parents were blessed enough to have our grandparents to cook great meals for them, and some of us have parents today that do the same thing for us. But with the way things are going now, I'm not sure how many children in the next generation that will the privilege of saying the same thing. I know many of my friends that still can't cook. And their parents don't cook enough for them to pick up anything. I wonder how holidays will be 10 or 20 years from now. Will food not be a big part of family gatherings like now? That's kind of scary, if you think about it. I mean, what's Thanksgiving without the turkey and dressing? Will there not be anyone who can cook the Thanksgiving dinner in the future? Is this the end of holidays as we know it?
