Seeking Working Parents Who Cook, or Don’t Cook, Family Meals

These days, the advice on healthy eating seems to come from many corners. But the consensus is there.

The first lady, Michelle Obama, the food writer Michael Pollan and officials at the United States Department of Agriculture all agree: To live healthier lives, Americans should be cooking more at home.

I would like to hear from working parents or guardians who do the majority of the cooking. Does the message about the importance of home cooking inspire you? Or does it irritate you? How often do you cook in a given week for your family, and how does it make you feel? Do you have help from your spouse, partner, relatives, babysitters and/or housekeepers?

You can share your responses in the comments section, by email at swarns@nytimes.com or on Twitter at @rachelswarns. I may follow up with you for possible inclusion in a Working Life column.

The Times is also seeking stories of the broader experiences of New York’s work world. Contact Ms. Swarns directly by filling out this brief form.
