In 2020, when asked in a survey if they lack the time to cook from scratch, twelve percent of respondents that were single and never married stated that they strongly disagreed. This was the lowest share of respondents compared to other marital statuses. Single respondents had the highest share of respondents who strongly agree and of respondents who agree overall (combining the answers 'somewhat agree' and 'strongly agree').
* The original survey question was phrased as follows: "To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statements below? --- I would like to cook from scratch but don't have the time."
