I have very little experience in cooking, but after seeing the complex solutions needed for proper food preparation, I think it would be better to produce more practical foods and simplify the whole nutritive process.
It's not proper food preparation, it's fancy food preparation.
You can cook tasty, nutritious food over an open fire in a field. For generations, that's how it was done. In fact, the best gumbo I've ever eaten was cooked over an untreated scrap lumber fire in a spillway behind a construction site.
