Home Economics can pay a massive part in peoples future with so many life skills involved. Food and health is a huge part of the subject. Obesity is on the rise due to regularly choosing processed food. I highly recommend choosing Home Economics in school. It's something that will stick with you for the rest of your life.
I frequently visit Home Economic Classes across Ireland giving cookery demos, healthy eating tips, information on food choices and the varieties of meat cuts to the students.
If you are interested in having a cooking demo in your school or would like more info do not hesitate to contact me.
