I think that it depends, timewise. there are of course really elaborate recipes, & if you're chopping a ton of vegetables the that of course takes time, but then there's also a whole lot you can do with a can of beans + 30 mins cooking time. & there's also all of the meat substitute stuff -- frozen "chicken" nuggets don't take any longer than regular chicken ones to cook.
but I've never actually cooked a meat meal, so I don't know how the clock compares. most nights I try to pull something simple together in about 30 mins -- is that a lot of time?

Also, we're not some big meat eating family. The other day we were at Whole Foods and my kids begged me for salad!
