As most people work, women and men, one can't be too hard on them preferring to buy a takeaway or stick something in the microwave. It's just the endless munching on burgers, KFC or pizzas which isn't good for health. If the takeaway is a Chinese or Indian meal, it's not too bad healthwise. Ditto the microwave dinners if they're healthy ones. I remember staggering home exhausted after work and peeling spuds with my coat on. Who wants to do that? But I do wonder how many folk can bake a cake, make pastry, bread etc. nowadays? Did anyone watch Kirsty Allsop and Phil Spencer at Christmas time? The daft things they cooked, fiddly to the point of C.O.D., and ingredients costing the absolute Earth, what planet are these toffs on? (The Rich People's Planet, I suppose)
