50 years from now, all meals will be bought from outside — and people will find it strange that we used to have these mini factories in our homes to make our own food, just as we find it strange that people use to sew their own clothes.

Strongly disagree. I find myself cooking more often. Control the inputs. Enjoy the process. Save $$$. Also, as nutrition & gut health becomes more important, people will become wary of meals bough from outside.

Very cool chart! Curious to see: - $/meal in vs out (is the ratio changing?) - avg consumer debt (we are spending more on leverage) - savings rate (much lower) - real economic income (stagnant while consumption rising) - residential density (did rate of urbanization mature)

Ah, read as % of total not "food spending." Later bullets not relevant to your point. Still wondering: would consumers choose not to cook entirely (like sewing) or is it that we like to consume more in general and nice dining is consumption?

I don’t think I qualify as “very wealthy,” but it’s been years since the last time I cooked a meal. The time expense of doing groceries + cooking + washing dishes just isn’t worth the meager the savings

I cook for pleasure and actually some of the time it saves quite a bit of money if I go vegetarian. Also, two words for you. Instant. Pot.

Also your work caters for you, which is not the experience of the vast majority of Americans.
