How old do you have to be to cook your own food in the USA?

In the UK it is illegal for a child under 16 to cook for themselves; this law is strictly enforced (and has been many times; I read somewhere that a 15-year old boy was put into care for cooking his own dinner)

You can legally have sex at 16 in the UK so it only makes sense for fully grown adult 16-year olds to protect the innocent and vulnerable (under 16's)

In the USA how old must a child be before they can cook for themselves?
