Boomers didn’t want to cook. Look at the lives they pushed and romanticized: someone else doing all the work, or automated systems doing it in the future. They’re the reason why TV dinners were even a lasting thing. Recipes from the 60s through the 90s were abominations of canned foods mixed together and either baked or set in Jell-o. Once they were in charge, processed foods in disposable packaging were everything. Then they get all pissed off about excessive sodium in all the precessed foods killing them.
Their societal flex was being rich enough and having a rich enough society that they didn’t cook anything.
