Why aren't young people interested in cooking anymore?
21 here

>This board's average age is probably the highest on this website.
I don't know about that, it seems to me half of this board still lives with mommy

I think it is just one of those things that go in and out of fashion, although it shouldn't be. IMHO simple cooking skills hould be basic knowledge, like tying your own shoes. Or driving a stick shifter car ... oh wait ...

that would probably be /diy/ or something

because they're neets

>21
> "young people"

christ

cause dishes

I still look young and cute senpai dont ruin my illusion

They aren't? I feel like people in their twenties are more knowledgeable about food and cooking then any previous generation was when they were that age

25yo here.
Cooking since am 5.
>Waking Up my dad everyday at 4am
>Pop gettin tired of that
>Show kiddoo how tout use stovetop for Eggs.
>Didnt cause any housefire. Yet.

I guess it comme from education. I Grow up cooking for my familly.

this board is proof that's not true

Having browsed since insception, the makeup of this board nowawdays seems to be
40% NEETs comparing fast food
20% incompetent cooks asking stupid questions and posting jack
10% weebs arguing bout sharps and bastardising eastern cuisine
10% autists getting triggered over preferences
5% alkies
5% depressed industry chefs
5% home cooks with an ounce of skill and inspiration
5% or less semi intelligent discussion of food or drink.

Can't imagine many are over 30, but the lack of porn and pretentiousness (relative) discourages the likes of say, /b/ aged youngsters

Try /vr/.
They're a cool bunch of old nerds, helpful as fuck and the moderation is great if you like retro games.

>Can't into comprehension

21 here as well. Cook 95% of my meals, have not eaten from a fast food chain in years, proud to say I have never eaten and will never eat McDonald's in my life. After I finish up grad school I think I want to go to culinary school for some fun courses.

>proud to say I have never eaten and will never eat McDonald's in my life
That's pretty silly. You should try everything at least once.

No. I will never give them my money. I don't care how good it possibly tastes, every time I walk into a McDonald's restaurant with a friend I legitimately feel nauseous from the smell and find it disgusting.

>user's life and grip on reality shattered after partaking for the first time

I find India disgusting but i'd still try their curry if I was there

And you'd probably get poopy pants. But I would absolutely try the curry in India too and happily shit myself. You know why? Because at least their curry is made with decent ingredients and not packed with artificial shit.Do you think the people at the top of the McDonald's corporate chain eat the shit they push on others? Guarantee you they don't. Probably have their own private chefs at home, the best ingredients, with the millions they pull in. Don't be a stupid asshole who falls for advertising.

Whatever do you mean, old pickle? Indians bathe too.

can confirm..am 24
>still don't know how to make those eggs that aren't scrambled..i forget the name of them

>mcdo execs don't eat mcdo food
In the UK, there's a chain of "supermarkets," if you can call them that, called Iceland (pronounced ice-land, as if two words, not ice-lind, as the country). Iceland started off by selling decent quality frozen whole foods by weight at reasonable prices. One freezer would have frozen beef shanks, another frozen heads of broccoli or cauliflower, a third frozen whole chickens and a fourth frozen gammon and so on. That sort of thing. And customers would go from freezer to freezer filling up bags with the items they wish to buy and bring them to the till to be weighed and paid for, much like a green grocer or the produce section of a typical grocery store.
Nowadays, all Iceland sell are ready meals like horsemeat lasagne and bangers-and-mash plates where the sausages are only 42% meat and the rest being filler.
An interview a few years back with Malcolm Walker, founder, owner and CEO of the chain revealed that he only eats organic, non-GMO, locally sourced food from his own private gardens and farms and never eats anything from his own supermarket. He wouldn't touch the rubbish he peddles to the poor with a bargepole never mind actually eat it. And I suspect McDo execs feel the same about the stuff they sell at people, too.

If I wouldn't eat it myself, I'd never serve it to a guest never mind sell it to a customer as I find it a violation of personal integrity.

Indeed indeed. People need to realize that corporate fast food chains do not care about quality, the health of their customers or anything like that. Their main goal is MORE PROFIT and they achieve this by clever, arguably false advertising. They don't give a shit if the stuff they are pushing can barely be considered beef or if it's packed with god knows. They want your money. Now if you know this and still want to eat their food on a regular basis I am no one to tell you not to, if there is one thing I hate in this world it is people pushing their views upon others, but you should all know that your health will eventually suffer. It is logic. If they are able to sell a "meal" for so cheap, imagine what it actually costs them to produce the food. Probably pennies. There is nothing in there good for you. Even the fucking pickles for god sakes PICKLES contain

>Cucumbers, Water, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Calcium Chloride, Alum, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Natural Flavors (Plant Source), Polysorbate 80,Extractives of Turmeric (Color).

...

38 here, so I guess I probably count as your dad.

>anymore

I don't know what your basis is for thinking you know what things were like in the last generation, or the one before that, but if anything younger people are actually more interested in cooking (or at least the idea of being into cooking) due to mass media turning it into a spectator sport, much like football or whatever.

Among people my age, I tend to be better friends with people who are "into cooking" because we have that in common. But there are lots and lots of people my age who are not into cooking. When I was in college we had plenty of people who were utterly hopeless in a kitchen. This is not new. It is not reasonable to expect everyone to have had the same experiences growing up as you. Some came from broken homes. Some were discouraged from trying things on their own. Some grew up poor and didn't have much opportunity to try new things or experiment with exotic ingredients. Some grew up rich and were cooked for by "the help".

If it seems to you as though older people care more about cooking, you should consider the fact that some of those older people were forced to cook from circumstances that they were exposed to throughout their relatively longer lives than people in your own age group. They may have had the same thoughts at your age as you are having now.

I can't speak to McDonalds but I've met some execs from Yum and Darden and I can assure you they do eat that garbage. You can't live in that world without internalizing at least some amount of tolerance for the shit you inflict on the public.

>Let's take a picture eating what the common man eats so maybe I'll be appealing and they'll vote for me!

He also apparently loves his steak "well done"

Stupid man, stupid food choices can't be surprised

People who live with their parents have literally no reason to be interested in cooking.

I was interested in cooking for as long as I can remember

The only thing that changed when I no longer lived with my parents is that I got to upgrade the gear I cooked with

I have to try to control my autism when I visit my parents because they don't have absolute top of the line cookware and their knives aren't stropped on chromium oxide

>Because at least their curry is made with decent ingredients
sure

what a peculiar coke bottle.

>People need to realize that corporate fast food chains do not care about quality, the health of their customers or anything like that. Their main goal is MORE PROFIT

I don't think anyways have ever argued against that. No one believes fast food is healthy. You're an idiot.

Don't you get it? user has spoken truth to power. He has discovered the reality that lies beneath the veneer of consumerism. Advertising is done to serve the interests of the advertiser! Someone call the Washington Post!

I like that this place is a bit nicer than other boards. There's also way less pol shit and /b/-tier """humor"""

Also I like food. I'm 31

>if you like retro games.
I don't tho

I'd say /m/, /trv/, maybe Veeky Forums are older

>/trv/

The board where hotels and showers are for soulless squares who gave up on life, "Singabore" is a fascist shithole unworthy of interest for any Real Traveller, 5 out of 10 threads are made by 18 year olds posting escapism garbage, and any actual travel experiences are shouted down as surely a figment of the poster's imagination?

Yeah no.

It's a can sized bottle i believe

I feel this way too. Young people now seem far more interested in food/preparation than a lot of older people I know.

Average age, m8
Of course there are /b/ tier kiddos, they are everywhere in fact.

19 here
i doubt it's the highest age.

>I don't think anyways have ever argued against that. No one believes fast food is healthy. You're an idiot.

A lot of fat fucking Americans would probably not have a clue if you asked them what the main goal of McDonald's is.

Just stop and go back leddit. You are not funny and it's cringe worthy when you try to be.

...

Average age on /trv/ is probably around 20
Joke's on you I've got it open in another tab. But I've been on Veeky Forums longer than you've been alive, so there's that

>I've been on Veeky Forums longer than you've been alive

You say that as if it's some kind of achievement. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Dissapoint

What makes you think I'm not?

>Average age on /trv/ is probably around 20

there's no way this is true

Good point. You have my pity.

Then you haven't spent much time there. Or at least, not lately. First few years were a good run, but anything as general interest as a travel board has had its fate sealed from the first day.

>Why aren't young people interested in cooking anymore?

I'd argue young people are far more interested in cooking than older people are.

Boomers are happy to eat out every meal or just make shit out of a box. Younger adults are much more health conscious and interested in cooking from scratch like our great-grandparents did.

People under 22 usually live at home or in a dorm though, so it's not like they would cook even if they wanted to.

man sjws are more obsessive than europoors, but anyway its always been on record that Trump loves shitty food.

You're not wrong but I'm sure some posters fit more than one of those groups so it's kinda messy

27 sperg boozer idiot who lives with his parents here - the food I cook is pretty much the only thing I have going on aside from my job

Barley anyone who come to Veeky Forums care about cooking either.

turning 25 in a month

kill me

/n/ seems to have a lot of old people on it, but the bike threads are probably a lot younger than the train ones.

I'm 23, which I consider pretty young, but you seem to have much lower standards.

The train threads are mostly posted and bumped by a teenager with crippling autism

Most of the bike threads are posted by people in their 20s and 30s

Then there's the angry shipfag, who is probably in his 40s

And the airplane threads, which, like the train threads, are teenagers with autism

This.
/diy/ or MAYBE Veeky Forums has the highest concentration of old people

>every time I walk into a McDonald's restaurant with a friend

How many times have you been, and what did you order? Nothing? Water?

29 yo living on my own, I also cook for myself on a daily basis
Veeky Forums is a bunch of dildos most of the times, its only redeeming features are grentext stories and those threads made by that guy who cooks with the cats on the counter

Veeky Forums probably has the highest median age, I am 33. I fell for the Culinary School meme and work on a cruise ship, my 13yo daughter cooks just as well as I do. She's bright.

Um, inspiration is measured in FLUID ounces retard

its not like i can move out im 12 lol

31 here. /diy/ is my main board, Veeky Forums is number 2 in my heart.

That sounds fucking terrible and supremely autistic

At least it worked for him unlike Mitt

My little brother is 17 and he runs a small kitchen in a pub

>He called Trump stupid he must be an SJW!

I hate SJW's, I hate Hillary, I hate Trump, I hate stupid Americans like you. Kill yourself. Fucking waste of oxygen. Only candidates that have ever even been half decent have been Sanders and Ron Paul. There has not been a good president since Kennedy and he was assassinated for reasons.

I'm 24 but unlike a majority of my peers, I own a house, a car, am in a stable relationship, and most importantly, cook our meals most nights per week. All of this of my own volition, didn't get any help on the house/car from mom and pops. For the most part taught myself how to cook too.

I've been in there I don't know 50 times in my life? Maybe more? I usually order nothing but I actually am incorrect in my original post. I technically have had McDonald's. Coffee. Just once. It was ok. The food still looks and smells like absolute shit though I'm sorry never going to have it

>Sanders
Honestly I almost was about to agree with your post, thanks for playing.

>Implying Sanders is THAT BAD

He's not perfect but he was far better than Hillary or Trump. He got cheated out of the nomination due to corruption and fucking greedy corrupt fucking assholes who don't want life to improve for the common man. You're all fucking slaves how does it feel?

Show me your whip nigga

>House
>Car
>24

Couple things to get straight. You most likely live in a shit hole and have mortgage. If the latter is true you don't own anything, the bank does. Furthermore

>24
>Relationship

Nigger what are you doing? Are you fucking stupid? She's going to common law you, cheat on your (probably already has) and take half your shit. You know how many girls I have gotten to cheat on their boyfriends? Easy as snapping your fingers. Do yourself a favour and dump the broad.

It's a 2016 Subaru Impreza sedan with a sunroof, heated seats and remote start (I splurged a bit). Dark here so I'm not gonna go take a picture

...

>Base model Impreza

No hate, but just why? You could have gotten a WRX considering all the unnecessary options you added. Is it automatic?

>Ron Paul and Sanders
>only good candidates
Bernie was fucking horrible.
Ron Paul was amazing.
Rand Paul and Jim Webb were the best candidates of the election
>muh free college for the common man!!!!
Free college would make everyone's taxes cost more than bread during the Great Depression

Yeah, it's automatic. I can drive stick but I live in a very hilly city so it wouldn't make sense for me to bother with stick. Tbh I didn't research much into the WRX so I prolly did fuck up there

Well, the Impreza is a reliable car and the AWD from Subaru has gotten pretty advanced, so it's not all bad. Hope you have fun with it.

Money is an abstract invention created by greedy fuckers. It has no true value, just their promise. Fuck it.

Thanks, I really am. Upgraded from a 99 Ford Taurus for it so I appreciate all of its features, and I did need the reliability+ AWD since I need to get to work in all weather.

To keep this cooking related, I made spicy baked chicken breast for dinner with some baked beans. Chicken was cooked excellently, 7/10 would eat again

30 years old here. I actually mostly come here when I'm hungry for fast food threads and food porn desu

>airplane threads
>teenagers with autism
The /gag/ threads are fine save for baconrider.
t. Pilot

>Veeky Forums having a high concentration of old people
HAHAHAHAHA

>no case of Busch in the camo can

Weak candidate, dropped

>bread costs more than during the depression.

Uh, when you spend the majority of your GNP on bombing and killing people and destabilizing entire regions of the globe, there's not much left to help your own citizens living under the 37th ranked healthcare system in the world.

And yes, the US laborer today lives under your oppression, just like the circumstances of the depression. Don't worry. People are coming to realize the disaster that has befallen.

>having a relationship at 24 is bad and every girl is unfaithful
Nice meme

>has a job
>lives with parents
Do you live in NYC or something? Why not move out?

I didn't know Veeky Forums had this many communists.

>work on a cruise ship
I almost got a cruise ship gig when I was in a Beatles tribute band. I was gutted when the band split up. Really wanted that job.

Don't worry, the current climate has been a godsend. Labor will finally realize they've almost nailed the lid on their own coffin with a vote for orange man. Things will progress.

>have a job
>have two condos and a house
>live with parents
jelly?

Not that user but:
>neet
>rent a one-bed flat
>live alone
And genuinely not jelly of anyone that lives with their parents or anyone else. Hell is other people.

this guy gets it

33 year old house husband here I come for the slowcooker threads

Romney should have gone on WWE like trump did. I unironicly thing flyoverfags voted for him because of that

I would think the oldfags going on anniversary tours and shit would balance out the trust fund 20 year olds
