I think those things are dumb, but you clearly don't know what they are

If you only use ingredients that you are gonna use up - especially things such as international ingredients, then you are correct. Per portion ingredient price is def higher, but if one were to make identical recipes and factor in ingredient wastage over time, then I would say the gap closes significantly.

I think if you're gonna do it, makes sense to just fill in what is otherwise cooked at home to add in some variety. And maybe give folks some credit and replace lazy with lack of confidence and you can make a better point. Food is so expensive these days, it pays to have a sure thing when you put something on the table.

You would be surprised how many folks did not learn how to cook at home.

I learned the basics but taught myself a lot in my early thirties.
