Yeah if you need to shop for a household every day, but usually you can do it once or twice a week and be fine. People do it all around the world, people who are much much poorer than Americans, people who also do not have cars, people who generally work longer hours.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoI'm trying to get you to see that it's a significant chore and you shouldn't dismiss it. It's usually done in addition to other obligations like work and childcare. A lot of americans are also poor, work long hours, or don't have reliable access to a car. Also people "around the world" may not be cooking at home as much as you assume either. Street food is everywhere and it is not new by any means. Individual household kitchens for city dwellers have not historically been the norm, and they still aren't in a lot of places.
- thunky 2y ago> it's a significant chore and you shouldn't dismiss it But you're comparing it to getting fast food for every meal, which is also a chore. One way or another, feeding yourself and your family is always going to be a chore.
