Personally, I found the fact that you felt you needed to ask such a question was offensive. About what other group of people would you ask such a question, e.g., Why would a person who is mentally ill need to learn to cook; why would a wheel chair user need to learn to cook; why would a cancer patient need to learn to cook? Really, a vision teacher, of all people, should be able to answer a question like this one without soliciting the opinions of visually imapired cooks!
Maybe you should take a look at your "Foundations of Rehabilitation Teaching" or other textbooks.
