Never really been convinced by this. Even when I was on apprenticeship wages (way below regular UK minimum wage) along with also having assignments to complete, I still had enough time to cook food every day.
I certainly wasn’t wealthy but if you are poorer than I was you would be working so few hours that you have loads of free time. UK specific of course but I hear the same argument here all the time.
I can see how having only part time/zero hour contracts sucks financially, but that is because you have too little income from not being able to work enough. At least you do have a lot of free time in this situation though, so you have the time for cooking.
