I remember articles like this about Gen-X (my generation) 15 years ago. I think it's just the case that people in their early 20's usually don't cook. I know I didn't. But as I and many of my friends moved into our 30's, we discovered the joy and satisfaction of cooking at home. Now my wife and I cook at home quite a bit. I'm sure we still go out to eat way more than our parents' generation, but we also use ingredients from local farmers' markets in our cooking quite often, which our parents didn't do really.
My point is, millennials are young; young people don't cook. This isn't a big surprise.
