Study: Americans cook the fastest in the world

Sad, but true. According to a recent study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Americans only spend 30 minutes cooking dinner, the lowest amount of time compared to other countries. Turks spent the most time cooking at 74 minutes per meal.

Despite the fact that one-third of Americans are obese, the United States also doesn't spend much time eating their meal (1 hour and 14 minutes), the third lowest time in the world. (see a pdf visual)

I'm all for easy home-cooked meals, but I wonder if Americans aren't enjoy the whole process -- cooking, eating, tasting.
