  Likely because women were shackled to the kitchen before they burnt their bras. Feminism..at its advent..created this narrative that working outside is great and household work is holding them back from progressing towards gender equality. However this didn’t translate as much to having children. Despite feminism and higher education and financial independence, women continue to have children at the same rate or higher than before. If anything, impoverished women choose to have lesser children due to the financial burden they’d create for them. This is confounding to me. Maybe it’s the influence of religion or the biological imperative is stronger because mundane and menial tasks like cooking and even child rearing can be outsourced to cooks, day care and schools. On a different note, cooking is a communal activity. In societies where work isn’t all consuming, communal bonding occurs through cooking. And so it’s a prized skill to learn. Cooking as a service is brilliant for any economy that places work culture over communal culture. So it will succeed here in the US.

    > women continue to have children at the same rate or higher than before This is false. Birth rates are way down.

      Not low enough. Population grows exponentially. With death rate declining, birth rate must slow down significantly as population pressure increases.
