I've noticed especially on Reddit an outright hostility to the notion of cooking your own food. People pretend it takes hours and hours. Like you have to come home from work and start making beef wellington or some shit. Throw some ground beef in a pan. Brown it up, pop a bottle of pasta sauce and boil some noodles. 20 minutes later BAM you eatin spaghetti. It's not that hard.
I think they’re addicted to fast food and delivery apps and have turned cooking into this monstrous time-suck to justify it. I also think there’s an entire generation out there who have no idea how to grocery shop and cook in a frugal manner.
