Why do boomers overcook their food all the time?

I think it’s just different fundamentals generation to generation. I know it’s not boomer-applicable, but read up about Depression era American foods, they overcooked quite literally everything they made. Some really weird shit.

Can well done steak be fixed? Does marination prevent it from turning into tasteless rubber?

their food was more likely to be contaminated with harmful bacteria. we have much better food safety now and don't need to cook things as much.

In Tennessee, we have a lot of "my great meemaw always said..." woo woo passed down from generation to generation, not least of it the vague blanket threat of "salmonella" regarding any meat that isn't cooked to death.

because boomers went through the war and the quality of meat wasn't very good so you had to cook it well done to make sure you didn't get sick.

It's not about avoiding food poisoning, it's about fully-realizing the flavor potential of the meat. Cooking a steak well done brings out all the complex flavors of the meat.

Besides, proto-humans evolved large and complex brains through eating cooked meat. I see no reason to discontinue that practice.

A healthy society maintains a steady population rate (not that China is healthy). People reproducing like rabbits and living to record old age is what's killing the planet more than anything.

>A healthy society maintains a steady population rate
Absolutely not. A civilization is something that rises and falls, with a life cycle. Either it's expanding into new lands, which requires population growth, or the expansionary phase has ended and growth has stalled - this goes hand in hand with civilizational decline and being overthrown by the expanding civilization next-door with all the momentum. There is not a single civilization in the history of mankind that did not fall into decline when their population growth stagnated. A functional population pyramid with the pyramidal shape is integral to the functioning of a society; without growth, there are too many old people to take care of.

My parents are boomers and if my dad cooks a steak “medium” (medium well at most) it’s the end of the world to him. My mom would eat steak raw if she could.

Idk if they’re just outliers or because they’re on the younger end of being considered boomers they ended up dodging the overcooked & underseasoned bullet

Boomers didnt have internet. As far as they know, this is how a steak is prepared, which then again is not the wrong way of doing it.

They ate to survive, to fill their stomachs. The amount of homosexuality our generation put into cooking isn't necessarily a good thing.
