I'm surprised too, because it would seem to me that cooking
basic foods from scratch is a fairly fundamental part of
local food self-reliance:
BUT... you know,
****** NO ONE does everything. ********
Everything we do (you, me, all people) takes: time, money
(even if only an opportunity cost*) and energy (I mean
personal energy, personal endurance, not oil-type energy).
(*Opportunity cost: If I spend the next half-hour baking
bread, I can't also spend it working for money. Conversely,
if I spend it working for money, then I don't have bread to
eat.)
So we all pick and choose what we can do, and can't do. And
- for each individual - this varies from time to time with
changing personal circumstances.
