We're also in a society now where 2 people or 2+jobs are REQUIRED for a "normal life" unless you're a tech or finance bro. People just don't have the energy or time to cook, fast food is often "on the way home" and saves well over an hour and effort.

I'm "lucky" that I'm single, in that I can cook a weeks worth of food in one day and there's no one to complain about "this again?" In literally every other respect being single in this society for over a decade sucks.
