I don't think a lot of people see this as neglect. (It doesn't fit my version of that definition personally.) Fast food and pre-packaged stuff is so prevalent that it's just second nature. It's almost abnormal nowadays to have actual food prepared for meals. My friends are always saying "I wish I could cook" when we talk about what we're cooking for dinner or holiday meals. Not saying I never resort to fast food, but I cook way, way more than we eat out and I cook from scratch most of that time too.
Although I do remember, when my son was little and I volunteered in his classroom, being surprised at the number of kids that had Lunchables or flat-out fast food "packed" for their lunch.
