'Controversies' of home cooking

A controversy on home cooking would be the question "organic or conventional (non-organic)?"  The word organic refers to the way farmers conduct their farms. For farmers who grow crops such as fruits, vegetables, grains they won't use insecticides to kill the bugs or herbicides to keep weeds at bay, but use alternative non-chemical means to keep bugs and weeds from overpowering their crops. For farmers who manage animals, they would feed them organic foods and let them roam around outside to feed on grass (that haven't been treated with chemicals) instead of giving them antibiotics, medicine and hormones.  The nutritional value of organic and conventional foods aren't any different but people prefer organic foods to limit their own exposure to chemicals like pesticide residue, additives and the fact that organic farming benefits the environment. The downside of choosing organic is that it's more expensive due to the fact that organic farms  cost more to 

manage and because fruits that aren't treated with wax or preservatives often spoil faster than those that were treated. Overall it depends on the individual if they would want to spend the extra amount of money.

Another is "all women [should] know how to cook". Women, have for centuries been the home makers in their families. knowing how to cook and run a household, was expected from women back in the day. Nowadays, both men and women know how to cook but not necessarily  ALL women. My sister doesn't know how to cook an actual meal -- only know how to boil water for ramen whiles her boyfriend knows how to cook a variety of foods. The role, gender based roles, have changed through this century. Traditionally family oriented roles have, to some degree, been abandoned by the younger generation. The roles of wives being at home--  doing the laundry, cooking for their husbands, clean the house and take care of the children and the men go out to work 8+ hours a day to come home with the 'bacon', has been modernized and/or been redefined. Nowadays, we can see the roles being switched or see families eating out at restaurants instead of eating home cooked meals. The job /role of a women no longer limits her in a house/kitchen.
