This isn't possible for a lot of people, with young kids, working multiple jobs (with shift work especially) and that live below the poverty line. But for the middle class it sure makes a huge difference. Even one meal at a nice restaurant can cost around $100... Fast food for a family of four can cost close to $40.
I think that we as a society have become a bit to accustomed to the uber eats/skip the dishes type of thinking where a meal is a few taps away with unlimited options.
Obviously this is an over simplification of a lot of issues but I still think for many people that it will need to be change in thinking to help combat these issues.
Edit: also when did everyone stop making their own bread. That was best pandemic times.

Agreed. We cook all our own meals unless we are on the run with kids sports. It’s cost effective, and way healthier than eating out.
