Okay maybe this isnt the best demographics here but like I mean as in if you know someone who’s Gen Z, do they have a “idk how to cook” issue?

(Please don’t be like “omg its easy, how could you not know” in the comments, be nice in the comments okay 🙈)

    That seems strange, do you remember where you read that? My understanding was that until one or two hundred years ago (like somewhere between our grandparents their great grandparents, depending on where they were in the world), virtually everyone was a subsistence farmer or hunter-gatherer. You’re saying most of these people couldn’t have prepared what they found/farmed without someone there to do it for them? :o

      This isn’t about subsistence farmers but urban populations.
      For example, in medieval European cities, poor people didn’t have space for kitchens in their home, so they went outside to get hot food. The main options where buying prepared street food or buying raw ingredients and having a someone bake them into a pie for you.
