I mean... you'd think that'd be the case, sure. But it's not. Tons of people don't know how to cook. They don't starve, because modern society has tons of convenience food, fast food, etc. There are people over 18 who live on their own, but eat a diet that consists mostly of boxed mac and cheese, hotdogs, chicken nuggets, etc. It's sad, but very common.

Knowing how to make Kraft Dinner is basic cooking skills though. There are bad cooks, who burn their toast, and then you have the astounding level of bad cooking like Fuuka, from Persona 3 who "didn't think one teaspoon of liqueur was enough, so she used a cup", while holding up a bottle of vinegar.
In the real world people know not to do this. Especially today where there are so many step by step videos cooking isn't as hard as people make it out to be. I don't mean like soufflés, but fresh basic meals can be very easy to manage. A lot of the people who simply eat out, and order fast easy meals like that do it for ease rather than a complete inability. Not to mention that sort of living isn't healthy, it's not a good way to survive.

da but yeah, I raise an eyebrow at anyone who can't even do something as simple as scramble an egg or make a stirfry because those are just basic life skills. You put something in a pan and stir it around until it's cooked, it's not like making a souffle or baking a cake from scratch, and in this day and age of the internet you can find step by step instructions and videos that show you exactly how to do it. If you can follow instructions, you can make basic meals.

I mean heck, one of my coworkers is a fresh college grad who is living on his own for the first time and he's been regaling me with photos of things he's cooked because he's been teaching himself how to cook thanks to the internet.

NAYRT - I agree with your whole comment, but I also think a lot of people who say that "can't cook" don't actually mean they can't cook. They just mean they're not very good at it and they're not very impressed by their own cooking. Like, I can totally cook stirfry, but I often put one vegetable in too early and another in too late and I end up with a final product that...is fine for me to eat, but I wouldn't feel proud to offer someone else? So like, I can cook plenty of things, but I used to say "I can't cook" all the time because I'm just not very good at it. Now I say "I'm really not much of a cook," or "I don't really cook that much," because that's a little more accurate and less misleading.

This was precisely my point when I said learn to cook something, anything! Like, making spaghetti is considered cooking, even if you use canned sauce. You literally just boil water and heat up the sauce!! And you've cooked! Because you're a grown up and feeding yourself and/or other people is a necessary life skill!!1!!
