I think a lot of (it not all) industries suffer the same thing. But IMO cooking is the worst hit of them all, cuz we all gotta eat food and no one needs a degree or anything, so that brings literally the entire population out to go "me too" and make their own garbage.

There's a book called "the science of cooking" (pic related) that I learned a good amount from. Like soaking dry beans for 8+ hours is the biggest load of bull shit and is parroted to levels beyond belief like some rampant pandemic. According to that book, most beans only need to be soaked a few hours tops. I tried it a few times, it works. Thanks to that book, I learned how to make brown rice good with just a pan and its lid (no special tools like pressure/rice cooker). Any time I have any questions, I look it up in this book before I ever even think of looking up in Google
