[quote=Anonymous]It’s a lack of basic skills. It’s ineptitude and a lack of education.

Cooking from scratch when you have little money, a family, two jobs and are gone from 7 to 7 is doable. You end up eating a lot of leftovers, but it’s not hard to do. Beans, lentils, different types of stews, and vegetables.

it takes a certain amount of sacrifice to use what little money you have for necessities and not for frivolous things. I’ll get attacked for saying “not buying Starbucks”, but it really does come down to using your money wisely.

Knowing how to cook basic harty meals is something that has been lost in American culture (due to wars, women getting back to work, long hours, etc. ) and maybe even in more recent immigrant cultures, but it should be something we should strive to get back to.

Dicing up some onion, celery, and carrot to mix with lentils is extremely easy and healthy. It also does not take a long time to cook.

I’ve been reading on this thread lots of extreme and outlandish excuses as to why somebody may not cook. Scared to call the landlord for a broken stove, but that might be one family at 1 millions. Realistically, most people have just lost the ability and historical knowledge.
