Why the gap? This is something that HAS to change from bottom up. Policy peeps & talking heads don't want to hear that, because "they care" and they "know better" because "studies". Perpetuating the myth that cooking cheap food is a pipe dream is not helping. Also not true.
Because it is, unless, as I've said, you discount externalities to the raw ingredient costs such as time, cooking implements etc. I'm lucky enough to be able to afford the time and effort to cook most meals I eat, that's not true for a lot of people

No it's not. Those meals provide about 1/4th of daily calories for an average adult, & you still need that (apparently!) luxury freezer. $20/day min, $140/week for one person. Your "time and effort" and a few (reusable) cooking implements are negated and then some.

Eh now you're just taking total nonsense Here's a fun thought experiment: min wage in Australia is about $18 an hour. If you spend an extra half-hour cooking it's costing you at least $9, probably more
