concurrent era, cooking is becoming a skilled skill for every individual and necessity for many people who don’t rely on others for their food. However, some individuals argue that it is crucial for children to cook meals from younger age. Whereas, opposition believe that people should learn cooking when they become adults. I will put shadow on both viewpoints.
On the one hand , a proportion of believe it is mandatory for infants to learn cooking at younger age because the life is unpredictable and unstable for many children. For instance, the children whose Parents are working for long hours or live separately from their parents must have proper cooking skills to survive and make food on their own. Moreover, international students who go abroad for their high school are away from their caregivers so these students must need to know about cooking because there they have to live with strangers and everyone cook on their own. If they have plan to went abroad they should consider learning cooking skills from younger age so they will not face any harsh difficulties to survive and it makes them independent also.
On the other hand , some persons argue that cooking should be learned after children become adults because at a younger age especially children from 5-15 years old are not mentally developed properly and cooking involves fire and sharp objects to cut food and prepare it. If they don’t use it properly it can lead to harmful injuries like skin burn and cuts on hand or body which may affect the surviving of their whole life. Moreover, the adults have enough knowledge and they are mentally developed to handle difficult tasks such as cooking so they have less chances of getting any injuries as compared to younger ones. For example, if an adult is preparing food he or she will firstly do the safety check such as ignition is on, safety gloves wear in hand and the flame level which significantly reduces the chance of any misshapen. Additionally they are capable of using sharp objects such as knife and cutter so they are more safe as compared to children. Adults always have a plus point in cooking food as compared to infants. To conclude it, both sides have their own pros and cons. But according to my viewpoint they children should learn cooking when they become adults because it is considered more safe for them rather than learning and try to implement early which may damage their body parts such as fire burn and flame in eyes which can lead to long term disability.
