I have a whole thing coming about the devaluation of work that takes
Place in the home - but we see it when it moves outside the home (food prep, making clothes etc.)
Efficiency - sure, but also the concentration of the rewards from the effort.

The paper plate at every meal…
Just WOW!
Garbage collection is way too cheap in the US - for homes and businesses.
And that is a post WW2 phenomenon.

Through the 1st half of the 20thC - if you weren’t eating w/ family, you likely still ate in a boardinghouse/family style way.
But since then there’s been a shift starting away from that.
Here at the end of the 1st Q of the 21st century the majority of adults do not eat in this family style way.

Plenty of people do still eat this way, but if you look at the number of people - especially adults who live alone, & number of people who eat out more/get take out than they cook at home - this is no longer how they eat.
The numbers shocked me when looking this up!
