I would also think it has something to do with ones financial standing. If you don’t have a lot of money a lot of the time ultra processed is all you can afford and high financial stress can also be a driver of depression or other mental health issues
I myself do know how to cook because I’ve previously worked in kitchens. Some people choose to not subject themselves to that environment and that’s their choice, not that it’s necessary to work in kitchens.
Learning things takes time, lots of time, and if you really screw up something cooking, you’ve wasted ingredients and therefore money that one may not be able to afford to waste during a learning process. Then we consider that a lot of people (in the US specifically) have to work 2 jobs to not go homeless, further cutting their time to learn things. When you’re in poverty, it’s not just money that you’re short on, it’s time too which is a valuable commodity that a lot of people take for granted.
Think of the larger picture before you go on talking about things you don’t understand.
If solving these issues was as easy as “just do it” don’t you think we wouldn’t be facing all these issues in America?

this argument is crap you don’t need to buy ultra processed food when you’re broke you need to learn how to cook
