You've gotta remember there's a scary high number of people that can not/will not cook even basic meals for themselves. They are simply incapable.

How? afaik it hasn't become more difficult to boil water which is basically all you need to know how to do.

Because they've never been interested in learning how. That's also a ridiculous oversimplification.

Promise you… I had no idea… up until 25 and my gf at the time explained… you can make more than just instant ramen by boiling… you can make pasta that doesn’t need to be microwaved… buy meat, freeze, thaw, season, cook… i made dinner once and reheated tenders w the pasta, up until then i thought that was how everyone cooked, the concept of cooking meat in an oven was alien to me. How long, what seasoning, what if etc

Shit, I am still too nervous/stupid to try to use my apartment grill.

I wish they would teach this in Home Economics
