It is true that cooking is not a focus when raising boys. However, the best cooks in my family were men. Anecdotal of course, but Most chefs are men too, which seems like a contradiction of sorts.
Maybe like the above poster (and myself) men learn to appreciate the benefits of cooking like lower cost, fun family activity, and usually healthier.

Yes, not learning to cook makes it harder to eat right.
The instapot helped me a lot in "grown up" meal department.
I found out the hard way about the cooking part in College (ate healthy @ home but didn't care for the cooking bit, and it was considered "for girls" so my parents didn't press). Then I tons of allergy and other diet related issues after I moved out until well into my 20s.
I'm now committed to not only cooking healthy for my kids but teaching them at an appropriate age to learn how to make (and procure) the dishes as well.
