what even is the point of cooking at

00:02

home this has been a non question for

00:05

most humans because for most of human

00:07

history the only person who was gonna

00:09

turn this into this into this was you I

00:13

prepare food because I want to eat

00:15

that's been all of the reasoning that

00:18

most humans who've ever lived have ever

00:20

needed from our hunter-gatherer life to

00:23

our agrarian life and even into much of

00:25

our industrial life the only person who

00:27

was gonna feed you was most likely gonna

00:29

be you or someone in your immediate

00:31

social group but now for people like me

00:34

living and highly developed

00:35

post-industrial economies because I want

00:38

to eat is probably one of the weakest

00:41

reasons for cooking in my opinion we

00:43

live in a world where this chicken costs

00:45

about the same as this chicken from the

00:48

same store and in this world I think it

00:50

really pays to interrogate why we would

00:53

buy this one field trip to Oxford and

00:55

not that Oxford Oxford Georgia where dr.

00:57

Derek Shannon is a sociology professor

01:00

at Oxford College of Emory University he

01:03

specializes in things like political

01:04

economy and teaches a course here that's

01:06

quite relevant to our discussion the

01:09

sociology of food course that I designed

01:10

is a part of what Oxford College calls

01:13

our theory practice service-learning

01:16

program part of what my students do is

01:19

work here on Oxford's organic farm look

01:22

at this place even in the middle of

01:23

February it's beautiful the apple trees

01:25

over here are blooming they've got all

01:27

these garlic and onions and cabbage

01:29

going but anyway if you ask dr. Shannon

01:31

what's the point of cooking at home

01:33

these days the first thing he says is

01:35

because it's an enjoyable and desirable

01:37

activity some people like cooking just

01:39

like some people like knitting when you

01:40

can go buy a sweater for cheaper than

01:42

the materials that it might take indeed

01:44

the first good reason for cooking at

01:46

home is because it's fun this is in my

01:49

view an unassailable reason for doing

01:52

anything that isn't particularly harmful

01:54

to others or particularly harmful to

01:56

your long-term fun having capacity I

01:58

recently put out a recipe for French

02:00

macaroons in which I encourage people to

02:02

loosen their expectations about how

02:04

these things should look if you just

02:06

care about how they taste and leave the

02:08

cosmetics up to fate they become as easy

02:11

to make as they are delicious but

02:13

you derive pleasure from working to

02:15

create cosmetically perfect macaroons I

02:17

think that's great you have my blessing

02:20

not that you asked for it my argument is

02:22

only this if it's making you miserable

02:24

to try to create perfectly round smooth

02:27

domes with perfect little ruffled feet

02:29

then stop make the ugly ones or buy the

02:32

beautiful ones also maybe try to think a

02:35

little bit more critically about whether

02:36

the things that you do really do make

02:38

you happy this is something I try really

02:40

hard to do especially with regard to my

02:42

creative work am i struggling to make

02:44

this thing because I enjoy the challenge
