The 27-Minute Problem— Episode 1/4 of the Series The Kitchen Defence
from Pay the Farmer, Not the Pharmacy · host Meera & Ashok Vasudevan
Share your thoughtsCooking has shrunk to almost nothing. Americans now spend just 27 minutes a day on it — down from over an hour in the 1960s, and falling. We've quietly handed one of the most important things we do to somebody else. In that same window, obesity and diabetes rates spiralled. Coincidence? In the opener to our four-part Kitchen Defence, Ashok and Meera make the case that we didn't lose the time to cook — we gave it away, and our health went with it. Plus: why Ozempic might be the world's most expensive fire extinguisher.
