Is teaching children to cook the answer to obesity?

Once -Once a child is taught about the dangers of eating too much fast food and how much fatty ingredients fast food contains, it will put them off fast food and persuade them to take charge and create their own healthier meals. Besides, after creating their own meals they have the satisfaction of their achievement and this in itself will make children more interested in cooking their own meals as opposed to sticking to fast food. food.  
 
-This argument is poorly researched. McDonalds, KFC and Burger King cannot be classed as relatively cheap when you compare it to the cost of cooking your own, healthy version of their meals.  
I find it also unlikely that a takeaway would take less time than cooking your own meal if you take into account the time it takes to get to a local fast food restaurant.

Whilst ingredients for cooking nutritious meals are relatively cheap, fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, KFC and Burger King offer meals for just as cheap. Faced with the prospect of having to spend time and energy preparing their own nutritious meals when they could have one of their favourite foods for the same price and much quicker, it is likely that children will still choose the fast food option.
