"Between raising two young boys and putting in long hours at a marketing job, Kevin Caldwell can almost never find the time to make dinner. So he and his husband spend about $700 a week to order in"

I totally feel that guy. Cooking sucks. If you have the money, that time can be spent on something better instead.
The quality if the food you eat is such a big determiner for quality of life though… I would rather spent a few hours every weekend mealprepping and living an extra ten years of healthy active life. Plus, if you can save 600 dollars on food you might be able to just work less.

I’d rather work an hour than spend an hour cooking.

Also if you’re spending $700 it’s probably not just fast food, put proper restaurant take-out.

This is penny wise and pound foolish.

Eating ultra-processed food

You don’t have to spend one hour cooking. You can’t cook in 20 minutes.

I’d rather not cook at all. And what ever money I’m saving I could get more by just working the same time.

So don’t eat ultra processed food then. Order proper food from a proper restaurant.

Order proper food from a proper restaurant.

Sound expensive.

Well, yeah.
