Excellent point re: convenience = success, I hadn't thought of it in those terms, but that's exactly what is happening. One of the major points he makes in the vid I linked is that no one knows how to cook anymore. He's all about educating people on the basics of "here is how you make a simple meal." Me, too. He also talks about how places like Wal-Mart grocery stores, etc. need to have things like "food ambassadors" that show you HOW to cook, like the fancier, earthy-hippy stores do.
In a nutshell: YES.
And HAHAHAHAHAHA, I can totally agree with you on that one, too, see that rude kid that told me he wouldn't eat anything I made him, and made his mother come over with a ziplock bag of greasy, microwaved chicken nuggets.
