Well for one we can feed ourselves. Secondly my question to you is why do
you even ask such a question? There is nothing that a blind person
shouldn't be able to do and there isn't anything that a blind person
shouldn't be able to ask for help learning. Just close your eyes and ask
yourself
I'd be interested to know more about your project. I hope that no one is
funding research to find out why cooking is important to us. That being said,
I hope that you can impart to people why it is not only important, but
empowering, economic, and and while you might gain weight from all that
Hello Denise, you can tell you are in an university program where
students are often asked to perform what seems to be "strange" projects. If
you are sighted, ask yourself the same question and what is your response.
Not to be offensive, but basically Maslow's hierarchy of needs survival,
you either learn to cook or eat raw food or starve. nobody is going do it
for you. also it helps to make you independant.

We like to eat.
Going out to eat although it is nice sometimes is not an option I
choose to indulge in everyday.
Doing kitchen activities like cutting vegetables, playing with spices,
or finding new ways to make chicken tasty is a labor of love.

If one can cook, one can manage on their own. We can decide what or what we
aren't going to eat, healthy or junk. Where if you buy fast food or prepared
food, there is no way to know exactly what or what you aren't eating. For
labeling in this country stinks. Look, at prepare food, they have mor
Hi Denise.
I feel cooking and other kitchen skills are important for blind and visually
impaired individuals because acquiring these skills help all
individuals--whether visually impaired, blind or sighted--to become more
independent.
The knowledge of Kitchen skills gives me a sense of usefuln
I apologize if the simplicity of this question has offended anyone.
Of course I believe that this is important for the student. I would
not have joined this list if I didn't feel it was important for me, as
a adventitiously blind adult, to learn how to work in the kitchen with
little to no usable
Quite simply, it is just as important to know cooking and kitchen skills
whether you are blind or sighted. It makes no difference.

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 pat
Knowing some of the visually impaired, as I know them, I take no offense to
the question.
My sight is light. Or no useable vision as the doc would say.
P. S. Even know some sighted as unskilled in the kitchen.RJ

Hello Denise, suggestion: ask your student how they feel about
cooking, did they enjoy it in the past, what type of cooking did they do,
what foods do they like or dislike, get to know some things about the person
and then you can introduce concepts and if there is an interest on your
stud
I would like to add one thing. If I had thought or understood the reason
for asking I may have been a little more descriptive when talking about why
Blind people should be able to cook. I think that others have covered most
of it. I would add that learning as many skills as possible probably
Also if the Student is doing well with being blind you may find the project
to be much easier then if the Student isn't well adjusted.

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance

give orders, cooperate, act alone
Now that's what they need to change the Curriculum to in schools and

I agree, perhaps if you had ask the question a little better, I would have
answered in a little more helpful way. Kerry Friddell
