What does this even have to do with poverty? I work a well paying office job. Often in evenings I just don’t have the energy to cook a decent meal, between caring for my family and getting a bit of time to myself. If I lived in a big city, with their tiny little kitchens, it’d be even more frustrating.

• Can I? Sure, it’s a simple recipe, I don’t need to be an experienced cook.
• Can I make time? Sure, I can sacrifice some unwind time or family time.
• Can I find the energy to motivate myself to sacrifice that time? Often not.

I imagine it gets exponentially worse with larger families, smaller apartments, and harder/more jobs.
