i'm just responding to a strong and overly simplified claim, quoted above.
that people don't have cooking skill or patience indicates other problems other than access to food - i happen to agree - so i think it's fair to say the claim should include other things like: commuting etc. leads to low energy/motivation to cook leads to choosing unhealthier foods; lack of community structure means there aren't as many people to cook for so less efficient, etc.
again, OPs claim is that food access is "the problem"; i just think it should include other things, such as what you said.
