Women have been pushed towards domestic work ever since the evolution from more equal hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural societies <span style='border-bottom: 2px black dashed;' v-b-popover.click.html="women_opression" title="Engels and the Origin of Women's Oppression">(Smith, 1997)</span>. Traditionally, men provided the food, earned at first by hunting, and later on through their
paid job. Women would be in charge of preparing food for everyone, and that role rarely changed. Throughout time, cooking as a means of caregiving became a practice identified more with women, while cooking for entertainment or skill

Discussing the gender politics of cooking, Pollan wonders: Was home cooking denigrated because the work was mostly done by women, or did women get stuck doing most of the cooking because our culture denigrated the work? (Pollan, 2014). Men often had
a privileged position when it comes to their cooking practice - mostly with meat, outdoors, seen as entertainment, while womens cooking happened behind closed kitchen doors. Today, most of the <span style='border-bottom: 2px black dashed;' v-b-popover.click.html="male_chefs"

However, the more time we spend watching chefs cook meals well never get to eat, the less time we spend cooking for ourselves. In the past decades, studies have shown that cooking time has declined (Pollan, 2014; <span style='border-bottom: 2px black dashed;' v-b-popover.click.html="home_cooking"

household means, one the one side, less housework reserved for women. It also means that corporations make great profits from providing the food we eat on a daily basis, which comes with several downfalls. Food made by a corporation
has many more chemical ingredients, that people very rarely use in their kitchens (Pollan, 2014). Eating packaged foods has increased the distance between what raw ingredients are and where they come from, and the food we actually
consume. Food becomes just another commodity, an abstraction. And as soon as that happens we become easy prey for <span style='border-bottom: 2px black dashed;' v-b-popover.click.html="soylent_quote" title="A quote from Soylent">corporations selling synthetic versions</span> of the real thing - what I call edible foodlike substances.(Pollan, 2014).

The phrase <span style='border-bottom: 2px black dashed;' v-b-popover.click.html="woman_place" title="A woman's place">a womans place is in the kitchen</span>, or the home, has been traced back as far as Ancient Greeces Aeschylus.
