[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, taking your kids to pho and Indian food doesn’t make them gourmands. Teach them how to make really amazing scrambled eggs. Watch the cooking shows. There are about a 1000000 out there. Chefs table is great. It’s all about making do with what you have. Plant a garden. Learn about local ingredients. And FFS order some groceries or send someone to the store. Every source on the subject has said it is fine. [/quote]

Every source on the subject has not said that going to get groceries is fine.  It is one of the few places that people are actually congregating in any numbers now and definitely presents a risk.  It is a risk that some people feel they need to take, but it is risk nonetheless.  Have you tried ordering groceries?  I have and it is hard to get a delivery window and, when you do, you are pretty limited in what you can get.  As for planting a garden, we have a small one in the limited space we have, but that's not something that can sprout up on demand.

I agree that teaching kids to cook is a good idea and we do.  But, cooking and eating are two different things.  One doesn't have to be a good cook to be a "gourmand."  And, though not terribly common, there are great chefs who, for a variety of reasons, have restrictive palates.[/quote]
