Why do we cook? (main reason)

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When considering why we cook, we should weigh what each option implies about the primary purpose of cooking.
Option a: 'a. smells good' – While aroma can be a byproduct of cooking, it is not the main functional reason people cook food. Pleasant smells may influence appetite or enjoyment, but they do not address safety or preservation.
Option b: 'b. kill bacteria' – This centers on safety and health. Cooking raises food temperature to levels that reduce or eliminate foodborne pathogens, extending shelf life and reducing illness risk, which is a fundamental purpose of cooking in most contexts.
Option c: 'c. looks nice' – Visual appeal matters for presentation and enjoyment, but it is not the core reason we cook; it’s a secondary outcome that can accompany etc. cooking, rather than the driving purpose.
Option d: 'd. changes the texture' – Texture modification is indeed a common effect of cooking, but it is a consequence rather than the primary objective; the essential goal is to ensure the food is safe to eat and palatable, which often begins with reducing health risks.
In summary, each option describes a potential effect or benefit of cooking, but the overarching purpose that justifies cooking across contexts—especially from a food-safety and microbial control standpoint—is to kill bacteria. The other options describe secondary benefits (aroma, appearance, texture) rather than the central, safety-oriented reason for cooking.
