> The deadly fact that is compounding the situation is that cooking skills haven't been passed down in a large portion of the Western population for almost two generations now. People who do not know how to cook rely on highly processed stuff that can be heated in 2 minutes in a microwave. Reliance on this highly processed stuff is strongly correlated with bad health outcomes. People either feel that they don't have time to prepare and cook or they see it as inefficient since it is much faster and cheaper to dine-out or takeaway.
