Not an American. Also, able to cook and doing so most days. Am I allowed to have an opinion now? Good.

It's just not for you to decide which tasks other people should perform themselves or outsource for money as long as somebody is willing to sell that service.

Making your own food is a very basic and fundamental skill, which is also much cheaper than any other option, and it has nothing in common with your disingenous examples.

I happen to think building and repairing computers or fixing my own bathroom sink are very basic, fundamental skills which are also cheaper than other options. Do I go around and gatekeep what people shouldn't ask other people for help about?
