The graphs below show why it’s impossible to resolve the discourse around “should you cook at home vs eat in restaurants vs pick up vs order delivery” and I don’t know why people love to debate it online so much and get so judgmental about it?

Right, it's not as simple as "food prices should just go up" or "food prices should just go down." We just had a nationwide experience of higher food prices and look what happened (although % spent on food remained historically low). ~10% of US employment is in ag/food; 100% of people need to eat.

My 2¢ on the debate is balance joy of experience with personal and fiscal health and a reasonable dose of common sense (e.g., don’t buy a 5 lb bag of potatoes if 75% of them routinely go bad before they are consumed).
