Vox had an interesting article last week about how people are cooking or not-cooking.

A team of sociologists that recently spent 18 months following nearly 200 low- and middle-income moms argue that’s much easier said than done. The three researchers — Sarah Bowen, Sinikka Elliot and Joselyn Bretton — spent hundreds of hours interviewing and observing how moms feed their families. And they found that, while many enjoyed cooking, the time pressures and desire to please all family members made home-cooked meals a tiring, stressful experience.

A team of researchers figured that out, people. A team.

Other findings were more useful. They did find that people were cooking at home, because they couldn’t afford fast food. They might not be cooking in the same way as any of us snobs.  My guess is that it’s a lot of canned soup and beans.
