I served an elderly lady. Turns out the mountain of groceries she was buying were for a very busy cooking class she runs for, wait for it, single mothers.
I acted shocked that so many women couldn't cook, and remarked that I couldn't believe it. She replied that she was personally appalled that so many strong, independent young women couldn't prepare the simplest of home cooked meals for their children, and that many of the kids who were present at the class had lived on purely processed crap before she began teaching.
I'm even more appalled that this is where my taxes are going.

With Google and YouTube I cannot comprehend how people are unable to cook if they want. I have personally grilled for about 25 and prepared a full Thanksgiving dinner for 12 by myself. I even built the table we ate at that Thanksgiving. My teacher? The internet.

I never asked. It's a council run thing, so I doubt it very much.

I hear ya, brother. I also come from a single parent household. My sister taught me how to cook because my mother worked 80+ hours a week just to keep a roof over our heads, food in the fridge, and clothes on our backs.

She's not. It's the taxpayers who are footing the bill. Men in the UK pay roughly 3/4s of income tax.
