Most North American adolescents and young adults cook the majority of their meals from scratch. Nearly 40 percent of the respondents to a 2022 survey indicated that they prefer to cook a meal from scratch, rather than use packaged, frozen, or canned meals/ingredients. Only 16 percent of respondents usually prepare 'meals in a box', and a further nine percent prefer frozen or canned meals.
