Right and people starve due to political and logistical reasons now. The politics are “this space is for office work” and the logistical ones are where we fail to account for how people actually live.
No one starves in the US. People have food with low nutritional value, but look up when the last mass starvation was. I doubt you find anything after the Great Depression.
No one is going to farm indoors in CA (except a few hothouse items, weed, etc.) because the actual farms are literally an hour away. Lack of food isn’t a problem in LA. Apartments and houses to cook in, time for cooking, and cooking knowledge are the main limitations.
Not only the opportunity cost, but the financial cost too. Real fresh healthy food costs more in time, money, and supplies (pots, pans, spices) than a $5 Stouffer’s frozen dinner.
You need one pot and one pan, not “pots” or “pans” plural. You can get a good cast iron pan for $20 that will last for decades. I have literally done this. Spices are similar. You can buy salt for $1 and pepper for $3.
That’s 4 hours work at federal minimum wage to buy these items 100% new (less if you just ask around for an old pan). Money is not the limiting factor for cooking food. It’s time and effort.
