Home Economics is very fun, being able to eat all the food you make, but how can this help you in the future?
Being healthy
Knowing how to create meals based on nothing but a couple of ingredients, and a couple of seasoning packets, that you can make a dish that is healthy, and can get you through the day with tons of energy, then your life will be 10x better than before. Saves your parents the time that they spend cooking you stuff as well.
Sets you up for the future
Being shoved into a apartment building one day, you will have to cook for yourself. Knowing this, you should study about how to do it now, instead of struggle to learn how to do it then. This sets you up for the future as you know how to do it when the time comes, and you don't have to waste your time on a youtube tutorial.
Its generally impressive
Making food for a guest when they come over is really impressive. Lets say you come over to a friends house and you are starving. You ask if they could make you something to eat, and they give you a list of options. Once you picked one, they immediately start preparing it in front of you effortlessly, without needed to search up a tutorial. That's impressive.
