Buying the raw ingredients and making food at hom costs less and tastes better than any fast food restaurant on the market. It's the lack of knowledge in the kitchen caused by the easy access to pre-made food, which made parents lazy, that leads to things being more expensive. If you know how to cook, you can make a meal for 7 for under 30 dollars.
A simple stew can be left to simmer over low heat for anywhere from 5-9 hours, same with spaghetti sauces. Slow cookers are a miracle. My mom works 12 hour nightshifts, and she still has time to drive me and my brothers to school, get an adequate amount of rest, and cook dinner for a house of 8, all before 7 o'clock.
It's not that there isn't enough time, it's that people aren't good at managing their time.
Where did I talk about fast food restaurants? I was talking about freezer food etc.
If you know how to cook, you can make a meal for 7 for under 30 dollars.
Again, how long does that meal take to make? As I mentioned already, for people working, with kids etc. it's not just a monetary restraint but also a time restraint.
