...are amazed when I bring my home-cooked meals to work for dinner (I work 330p-12a). They are nothing too fancy. For instance I made stuffed green pepper one day, my coworkers were practically drooling. A few times a year we have a potluck. Everybody always brings store bought food. We had a potluck on the 4th and I made a huge batch of succotash. It was all eaten by only 8 people.

I still have alot to learn with cooking. But I have been learning and trying since I got married in 2012. What is sad is that the women who are most amazed are 20 or 30 years older than me. It just blows my mind.

It's not the eating healthy that's difficult for folks it's the addiction to convenience that's difficult to break. We're slowly being programmed to always take the path of least resistance, we shun from any discomfort and rely on the ever present fast food options that are surrounding us.

If you are older then 30 then you might remember a time before 24/7 access to food. I remember the only location I might get a treat while running errands with a parent would be a lollipop from the bank. But now, go about your day and notice anywhere you make a financial transaction there is usually some type of convenience snack or candy.

Long rant but it's not about difficulty it's about addiction and our human behavior being modified to turn us into the characters from Wall-E.
