I know, its your sentence construction. Consider this sentence: "I just want people to try real food, both eating and cooking."
When you say it like that, "real food," you imply that food made in a rice cooker is some how not "real". Which it clearly is for the dictionary definition of the word real, so it reads like you've got this whole value judgement thing going on about the definition of "real."
You're not showing acceptance, your trying to educate the people so that they can see the correctness of your world view.
If you accept non-foodie folks, those who eat to live rather than live to eat, then you phrase this thusly;
"Cooking food in a rice cooker is very convenient and as the article states it can keep you fed with nutritious food while minimizing cost and effort, However, when you choose to cook food this way you miss out on opportunities for an even richer food experience which do not require a lot more effort." -- followed by exposition on things your missing out on and how one can achieve them economically.
You see, acceptance in the first part, new information to share in the second. Same message, different connotation. Be nice.
