I think what the underlying question is here is- is a woman who can't or won't cook going to be able to properly feed and nurture your children?
I understand that some women aren't interested in cooking, and also do not care to be responsible for feeding another perfectly capable adult. But if a woman is not willing to take at least half the responsibility of making healthy food for the family, she's just plain lazy.

Cooking can be shared by both people. It has nothing to do with taking care of kids (though in this day and age most moms work and I would if I had kids). If both people work, they should share unless one person likes cooking and the other doesn't.

Depends....many working women simply don't have the time for cooking. My mother worked a full time job as a media conultant and PR specalist...she usually came home around 8 and my dad around 9...so the maid prepared dinner. However, that was in Asia, where maids are affordable and most of the middle or even lower-middle class families have one...in the States only the really rich can afford service like that, so two working parents will have to find some way of keeping their kids fed working nights. Unfortunately, this has lead to the rise of take out and processed fast food that is convenient to buy for the family when one is exhausted at the end of a long day...such is modern society.
In all honesty I wouldn't mind finding a woman who would be perfectly happy waiting on me hand and foot but I know that's not too terribly likely here in the states and anyway it's practically impossible on a single income nowadays. Still though, I expect a woman to at least know her way around a kitchen the same as I'd expect any self-respecting man to know his way around a garage. I'm an ok cook myself and would gladly share in the culinary duties so it wouldn't be a feminist nightmare or anything.

I am Sicilian, my wife is English, Scotch and Welsh. After the first meal she cooked for me when we were married I said, "Honey you cook like a white girl. Let me take care of the cooking". Worked for 24 years.
