Don't make the argument "unless your time is free" unless you have 0-turn around time->money converter. Which, your argument is that "Time isn't free, so neener neener", which falls flat in its face.
I'm not in the upper, or middle economic class. And making our own food is how we save a great deal of money, and also eating much healthier. We probably could eat on $50/wk for both my wife and I. But it would be junk food and bad calories and malnutrition.
Last night, we had shrimp, tilapia, roasted veggies, and a capezzi salad. That would have been ~$40 each out on the town. It cost us $10 for both of us combined. And it was a half hour work for one of us. We can't even work a half hour on no minutes notice.

I cheerfully cook for myself and my family on occasion, but having to do it all the time (for a family which has different conflicting dietary issues) is not much fun. (We don't eat out much for reasons of health as much as anything.) I just wouldn't make the cost argument -- it doesn't hold water.
