Right now, I'm cooking bacon on the kitchen. Served with rice, and a sunny side up on top with the yolk runny so that it's gonna spread on the rice.
In other words, argument is invalid thanks to bacon. Hail bacon.

If it didn't happen when takeaways first became widespread, it's not going to happen.

It's really not more expensive to eat out when you factor in the cost of ingredients, food storage, meal planning, the time it takes to cook a meal, and the time it takes to clean up. Yes, it was cheaper to eat at home in the 50's when food was cheaper and there was a Stay-At-Home Wife/Mom to prepare a meal every night, but those times are simply gone and most people don't have the time to plan and cook a meal for every night. Really, it is only the ingredients. Food storage is mostly a one-time purchase as opposed to a monthly expenditure. Unless you mean the energy cost of a running refrigerator. Your time is only valuable in real dollars if you have earning power in your spare time, or if you working multiple jobs/commute time does not afford you time to cook. I mean, if taking 15 mins to make breakfast 45 mins/1 hour making dinner is taking time away from you driving an Uber or doing woodworking, then yeah. But if not, it is really just paying a premium for convenience. It is very hard for me to believe that you could eat out for the same dollar amount as you could feed yourself. There is a reason most restaurants have a 2:1 margin on food sales. They do save ordering in large quantities, but the fact remains everyone in this line is making money off of selling you food. 2. I had an idea to eat approx. 4 McDoubles a day (1560 calories), take a vitamin pill, and streamline my food. I only ended up doing this for a few days before I stopped, but it's certainly a concept. That is a very bad idea. McDonald's is very unhealthy. It's not purely calorie counting, it is the fat, saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol. You can't counterbalance the negative of that with simply taking a multivitamin. I mean, if people want cheap and convenient it isn't that hard, especially for one person. Rice is one of the easiest things in the world to make, almost the entire process is you being on your phone. Carrots, peppers, soy sauce all pair with it, and carrots and rice are very dense, heavy foods which give you the feeling of being full on very little of it. Essentially two cups of ingredients is a full meal. Grilled cheese is never bad, and two weeks of ingredients costs you like $6. A dozen eggs is less than $2 here. Six months of salt and butter is dirt cheap. Like cents/week cheap. Kitchens aren't going anywhere.
