As people spend less time teaching their kids how to cook, premade
makes a winner and you can add far more than the cost of the food in
the sales price.

Sadly this is why so many people can't 'make it' on their income. It's
ok to get a special now and again, but if you can't cook, you are
paying extreme prices.
