I notice that learning to cook is never an option
My niece was highly Uber eats dependent. Got her an air fryer for Christmas and it literally changed her life. Sometimes people want better but don't know how to get there
We carry access to all the knowledge of the world in our pocket.
Abundance of unstructured and chaotic knowledge that is blended with misinformation, ads, memes and attention grabbing 5 second videos tends to overwhelm most people.
It is buried in trash.
Okay, you're.....
...not wrong
Vegan, here. If I didn't cook, I wouldn't eat.
Some government hand out "baby kits" for newborns - cot, blanket, nappies, bottles etc.
I think they should also hand out "self sufficiency kits" to new adults - pot & pan, utensils, cutlery, self sufficiency book w recipes, salt/pepper/herbs, coffee, tea seeds, vouchers and some other bits & pieces. Basically something to foster some independence, interest in cooking, diet and other life skills in new adults. And the school curriculum should also foster life skills.
Doesn't stop people eating out or buying takeaways but it shouldn't be the norm.
That's honestly shit your parents should teach you tbh. Though not everyone has a decent set so I agree on the school curriculum bit. Teach it in middle school for sure.
I'm so happy to have grown up in a country where not learning to cook isn't an option.
I’m also from the US!
I think you misread their double negative.
buying groceries is also more expensive than it should be. you also have to take the time to go do that, and if you don't have a car youre not likely to be getting very much stuff. then, you have to prepare the food, cook the food, and clean up after. i dont know about you, but my prep space, cooking space, and cleaning space are all the same small counter. im perfectly capable of cooking a meal, but I also hate cooking and don't enjoy it, for all the reasons i just said.
Make bigger batches and freeze portions. And whatever expense groceries are, you can expect food cooked by someone else and delivered by someone else to be 3x as much.
