      Would help if they learned to cook.

      Vast majority of my under 40 peers, do not cook. Almost everything they eat is prepared meals or meal substitutes.

        We cook for a family of 4 and grocery prices have still basically doubled in our area. Doing a lot more beans and rice lately.

        A lot of people don’t have the time nor the energy to cook these days. If you work long hours or have multiple jobs to make ends meet, things can and will fall to the wayside. It’s not always a matter of laziness like you’re implying.

        The number of young people with no money, but constant deliveries from Ubereats, Deliveroo, etc, astounds me.

        Like, my brother in Christ, you are sending most of your food budget to Silicon Valley billionaires. No generation has ever survived entirely on delivered takeaways.
