I’m glad to see this post. I think it’s so important to cook at home and then eat as a family. And menu planning is so important! I think people fall into trouble when they do two things: 1) decide they simply can’t cook anymore. 2) don’t give themselves permission to say, “I don’t feel like cooking tonight. How about pizza?” We have to try, and we have to be comfortable with failure.

Thanks so much for writing this article. I agree that small steps in the home are an amazing way to shift our politics and outlook. Indeed, those choices most difficult often convince us best that we’re doing right by the world.
