> Home cooked fruits and veggies end up getting a lot more expensive when you factor in frequency of shopping needed to maintain a stock and time required to cook. What sort of meals are you comparing? To cook a steak, sausages, bacon and eggs and things like that can take more time than cutting up some vegies and making a basic salad. A lot of veggies like beans and lentins can be stored dried, their shelf life is infinitely longer than meat and bread. > I applaud everyone who manages to cook every day and I strive to do so It sounds like your comparing cooking to takeaway/frozen rather than comparing cooking veggies to other food.
