    “affording” includes the energy and time to cook, and that all assumes nobody in the house struggles with food aversions or similar. you might be able to cook all your food, but not everyone can.

      So you’re changing the goalpoasts from “nobody can afford to buy and cook fresh food” to “some people don’t have the time and energy to cook”

      You can make oats in like genuinely 6 minutes. Rice in like 10. Spend 15 seconds pouring chickpeas in a bowl of water and snack on them the next day. If you have the time to sit at a drive thru, you,ve got no excuse for either of those. Don’t deny yourself your own agency. You absolutely can.

      Are those the same people that oppose switching to electric stoves because they supposedly perform so much worse?

      It seems like the vast majority of US-Americans oppose this which doesn’t make sense if they never cook.
