It really is
People blame work.
I'm a kid of the fifties no fridges no convenience foods everyone down the pit a hundred hours a week yet they still took the time to learn how to grow a potato and cook it!
I don't blame work... I cooked when mine were younger I hate it with a passion, if I can avoid it I will
Furry muff.
Most modern western people haven't a clue about how to do much of anything for themselves anymore.
There's a lot of middle class kids in my youngest son's life who go on and on about the environment but don't know a thing beyond what they read in a magazine or online.
Ask them about growing fruit veg planting trees milking a cow raising chickens catching a fish skinning a rabbit blank look.
That's mans environment and they've never been in it!
Most western people if taken into a so called primitive environmental rainforest to dwell with the natives would be seen as special needs.
Can't make shoes can't make your own pants don't know what's food and what's poison can't build a home can't catch dinner yet we call the people who can primitive!
So no knocking the chef for getting the pastry wrong till you know how to make it better!
Not sure I could win an argument about any of that!!!!!
