" It's easy to "cook" when you put a jar of store bought sauce over some noodles without ever looking at the ingredients." That's not what I would call cooking

That's not what I would call cooking. That's "heating up".
- knightofmars 7y agoHence the quotes around the word cook. :) Even if a person is cooking, if that person isn't preparing everything from scratch it's quite possible they are using sweetened ingredients (I'm not suggesting everyone should cook only from scratch).
- esotericn 7y agoI dislike the use of the term "from scratch" here because it implies something.. esoteric or special. Boiling potatoes is just cooking, there's nothing "from scratch" about it, you're not a farmer. It's more about using real ingredients rather than processed stuff. (Sure, we can talk about what you consider 'processed' - I'd say basically anything that has more than one or two constituent parts).
- knightofmars 7y agoI get where where you're coming from with regards to "from scratch". Non-processed is a better way to describe it.
