Editorialized the title due to title length constraints when adding the 2017 tag -- would appreciate if the original title can be added

Since the article is from 2017, it would have been better to omit "Confronts a New Problem" in my opinion. There is a difference between "10% of Americans Cook" and the actual title, "10% of Americans Love Cooking".

Yeah that's fair, although I think then we'd lose the article's focus on the grocery business. Hopefully my most recent edit is a reasonable compromise

I like cooking but end up with a bunch of things to clean if I get creative.

I'm part of the 10% but only when I'm not in a rush.

I have another statistic: 0% of Americans love doing laundry.

So why is Tide still in business?

The real revolution in Smart Homes will be a system that cleans and puts away dishes, wipes down counters, washes dries and folds laundry, puts away toys and cleans up messes without human intervention. I’m rooting for Roomba.

Forget Neuralink, I wish someone would pioneer a way for me to pour Soylent directly into my stomach. Eating is fun socially, but it's just another inconvenience otherwise.
