What's the need to cook?

[Sophia G]

We all need food. The process of cooking prepares food. We can eat some raw food, of course, but it's just a part of our daily intake. We can buy ready made food from the market, so what's the need to cook! The first reason will be - We can save money cooking our own. But is that it? By cooking our own food, we can take control of what goes into our food and hence into our body. We are what we eat, so we must learn to take control of what we become and not let someone else take charge of it.

Not to mention, you can make a lot of yummy recipes for things that you can't find already made at the supermarket or local restaurants. I moved many miles away from where I used to live, so there are lots of meals I can't have any more unless I make them myself.
