You're leaving out the cost of time, the more valuable resource for poor people who likely live in a food desert and would have to spend a significant amount of time traveling to purchase those ingredients.
- lqet 7y agoAll of the recipes I mentioned above (and countless others) can be cooked in under 30 minutes, if you go shopping once a week. Eating out, you also have the overhead of driving / walking to the place to eat. With processed food, you also have to go to the supermarket.
- ApolloFortyNine 7y agoAgain, another 'boogie monster' people like to use. Without even getting into using an instant pot, a crockpot is a $20 appliance where the vast majority of recipes are put in chopped ingredients and seasoning, cook for 4-8 hours, serve over rice or pasta. Your average crock pot recipe has maybe 10 minutes of prep. The biggest problem is knowledge. You have to know that a crock pot is even an option, you have to know that an investment in an appliance like an Instant Pot can save you countless hours over years.
