Why are so many shows about Cooking and Food listed under Reality? For example how does the following shows fall under Reality?

The Show Type should be something else as they are hardly reality shows. Cooking shows and/or shows about food have long existed before Reality TV was every a thing.
What else would you put them as? I would even say that in the last 5 years cooking shows became the face of the reality genre.

Show Type: Variety <<<<
An objective and categorical definition of the show's type.
Scripted: actors playing pre-written roles
Animation: characters are puppets or models captured in successive drawings or poses to create an illusion of movement.
Reality: people portrayed in situations that occurred in real life
Talk Show: one or more hosts with monologues, guest interviews, and small bits
Documentary: a description of a real-world topic, in order to transfer knowledge
Game Show: contestants competing in order to win a prize
News: describing current real-world events
Sports: footage of athletes playing a sport
Variety: shows that don't fall under any of the above classifications; or combine multiple of them
Award Show: a recurring televised event where awards are handed out
Panel Show: panels of celebrities engaging in entertainment or contests without a prize involved
I don't think it's a better fit than reality by TVMaze definitions, but it's not my decision to make. Just shared my point of view.
