    in my city, there are numerous “food deserts” where fresh food generally isn’t available, and people go to pricey convenience stores which sell, guess what, premade food, junk. When you are raised that way, and everyone around you does the same, it comes naturally. And who is educating them otherwise, or making useful changes?

    My mom grew up not knowing how to cook, bc they almost never had real food in their house (actually the “projects”, single mom with schizoaffective disorder, four kids). She was working at like 12, 13, and if she were still alive, I’d love for you to try telling her they were lazy lmao

      I’d be happy to call her lazy as your anecdote is just that. Books exist, as do library’s, all full of knowledge on how to make shit to eat.
