Who is this "we" ? People without kids?

Society, in general.

This is perhaps one of my favorite Bittman quotes. I can't remember it verbatim, but it was essentially lamenting how we have devalued working in your own home. In his case, he was referring to cooking, but I feel the overall point is rather relevant.

"We" is not a who, but rather a "what" - namely, a useful indication of poor thinking.
