Telling people to suck it up and just do it is a great way to feel smug while achieving nothing.

I don’t think online resources are necessarily a replacement for in-person classroom instruction, and even if they were, it’s not a reason to take the option of home ec classes away from those who want it.
That said, I think it’s at least a good thing that so many good internet resources on cooking exist, and it helps mitigate the problem to some degree. Still, it takes time and energy to seek out those resources, learn from them, and put them into practice. Not easy to do for anyone who has been worked far past the point of burnout and are still just scraping by.

Cool. I checked and found the following types, which one should i go to. /s
-
90% personal blog/vlog with vague cooking tips sprinkled within
-
instruction video where you need a specific device or machine from sponsor brand
-
overly confident with a sidedish of just as clueless and stupid
-
overly confident with a sidedish of overreliance on uncommon tool/machine they assume everyone has
-
recipe which actually makes no sense taste wise but sounds cool on paper and generates clicks
-
legit recipe but ingredients and keywords changed into google buzzword ones (bacon gets more hits then Italian ham)
-
some actually good kitchen instructors that you need to know about in advance cause there burried below the mess.
I really enjoyed cooking with dog actually, shame that after my workday i am no longer in a condition to operate anything that can burn

Yeah, those folks who work 16 hours and have no cooking knowledge should go out and buy a bunch of pots and pans and knives and a ton of ingredients. They don't need to sleep and have plenty of extra money to waste on ruined food.
What a douchey take.

really they could start somewhere and simple and build from it and be MUCH better off than fast food daily, for nutrition and money and time. throw some raw chicken on a grill and flip it over after 12 minutes. cut some veggies/fruit up. eventually add sauces or cheese or something.

Tell me your work isnt sucking 100% of your energy without saying so.
To be fair though thats a good thing, no job should exhaust people to the point of rendering them unable to take care of themselves but for many of us that is not reality.

doesn’t sound sustainable. either partner up and/or reframe your work/life balances.

Did you miss the tired and overworked comment? Feeling exhausted and burned out doesn’t inspire most people to spend a large amount of time and effort learning something new.
