Agreed. There’s a difference between telling someone making 45k a year to suck it up and deal with it, and encouraging middle and upper middle class to cut back on frivolous spending if they’re struggling with prices.
I’m not big on detailed and strict budgeting myself, but I am a cheerleader for preparing your own fresh food. I don’t think it’s dismissive of peoples’ struggles to explain that Skip the Dishes is more of a luxury than a need. And it’s not asking people to turn their backs on progress and the good things in life to encourage them to make a stir-fry, or a pot of stew that will provide three meals for a family, for a fraction of the price of ordering takeout.
