Join me for a juicy culture chat on how ultra-processed food companies are profiting off the lack of homemaking and home cooking that is happening in the modern day. There has been a seismic cultural shift over the last century (on multiple fronts) that has led to a decline in the quality of food Americans eat on a regular basis. Fueled by a desire to work outside the home, fewer women are stepping into the role of homemaking and with strapped time, many families are relying on big food to feed them.
This shift away from whole, unprocessed foods, made from scratch, and toward fast food drive throughs, frozen dinners, and processed snacks is having drastic implications for our health. With over 70% of Americans being overweight or obese, we have a problem on our hands that closely correlates with the decline in home cooking and the rise in big food.
Tune into part 1 of this two-part series for statistical analysis of the decline in homemaking, along with some biblical encouragement on how wives are called to serve their husbands and families, just as the husband is called to serve his wife.
