Low-income workers are as such because they're "ignorant"? Uh..
Why this would work is that free delicious food isn't likely to be turned down. I think people are often creatures of habit and feel intimidated by cooking, along with (as you suggest) disinterest. You don't just teach the mechanics and call it a day, they can walk away with a cheap delicious food and see how easy it is to put together. Ultimately also easier on their wallets than a cart full of 2L soda bottles, frozen pizzas and chips.
