We didn't. Most people in the middle ages ate mainly some form of bland porridge.

We didn't. The type of people who were used to high quality feasts still are. You shoule ask yourself how starving peasants turned into factory workers and then got addicted to junk food.

Sugar became cheap and widely available, it destroyed the palates. Also, if you stick to local products, feasting isn't that expensive but ain't nobody got time for lengthy cooking no more.

Why do people say that? We spend less time working and have more convieniences than we've ever had in the past. We have more time to cook today than we've ever had before.

I think what you mean is that people are choosing to spend their time doing other things than cooking. In my experience it's usually silly shit like refreshing instabook every 2 seconds and binge-watching silly TV shows. There is zero reason why people couldn't use that time for cooking instead.

Yes. To some extent. Still, cooking is a time consuming task. It would take a housewife half a day to prepare proper casseroles and baked food for a family of 5. That's not going to happen (in the west). Even if the entire grid goes down and there is nothing else to do, they'll probably just cook pasta.

I'm not denying that some kinds of cooking do take a long time. But even so the length of time required has decreased over time. We now have all sorts of technology that speeds up cooking or otherwise saves labor. Pressure cookers, slow cookers, electric mixers/processors, etc. It take less effort to cook today than it ever has in the past. Less knowledge too since anyone can fire up youtube and watch a world-class expert teach them exactly what to do. We can mail-order ingredients from anywhere on earth. Yet people still complain that they're "too busy" to cook or "don't have the time".

Horseshit. They're just prioritizing something else over cooking. Sometimes that "something else" is important. Usually it's not.
