You are assuming the people have the time to learn, the energy, even a kitchen with enough space to do it. Now if you’re just talking about like a frozen pizza sure whatever but if you’re talking about making it from scratch that’s a lot of fucking work not everyone has that kind of time
Who doesn’t ever have time to cook? Making pizza from scratch is maybe 30mins of work at most. To me it Sounds like you are infantilizing poor people into a position where they are too stupid to feed themselves. I have never in my life met a single person who couldn’t just have made pizza at home.
Pizzas from scratch does not become 30 minutes of work until you’re well versed in it. Before that it’s a giant mess which most people who are poor and living in tiny Apartments literally just do not have the counterspace for. And a few hours of learning.
When you are poor the vast majority of your time is generally spent trying to make what little money you can, you come home you have enough time to quickly eat something shower maybe if you’re lucky to get one hour to yourself before it’s time to sleep.
There are lots of foods that you can do quickly and easily from scratch for yourself. Especially if you can manage to get your hands on something like an instant pot or other type of large slow cooker or pressure cooker. Things that will allow you to make seemingly complex meals with a couple button pushes and you don’t even have to be home to monitor it but pizza from scratch is just not one of them
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.
