Huh? I think all that's needed to learn how to cook is a little bit of desire to do so. It isn't rocket science. How old are your friends? I find that I started taking food for granted less as I got older, which is sort of a key step in getting interested in actually making it.

I dont think anyone is saying cooking is necessarily hard. Good cooking is, and I agree if you arent 2nd/3rd gen you probably were never taught to cook at a younger age. The reason it is obsolete is because of all the premade stuff out there and fast food.

But that, of course, doesn't replace the good cooking that you are talking about. While I'll agree that takes time - I'm far from there myself - I don't think it's the kind of thing that's impossible if you decide you want to get into it later. So yeah, you may not have serious skills as a 22-23 year old unless you came from that kind of family, but that was sort of my point about getting older.

the point is, the pre-made food is making people lazy about cooking in general, and sooner or later home cooking will be obsolete because there just arent enough people that are in to it.
