Is he supposed to grow the grain and mill the flour as well? Raise the chickens collect the eggs and raise the cow, slaughter it for beef? Start an olive farm and make oil? Grow the onions, carrots, all the seasonings as well? Where are you drawing the line guy because for 99% of people, the line gets drawn at pasta secca. There's literally no reason to make it homemade.

I understand your perspective on the term 'homemade'; however, I believe it is unreasonable to expect individuals to raise livestock or cultivate their own crops in order to satisfy the criteria for a homemade meal. That being said, pasta can be easily prepared at home and is, in my opinion, a crucial component for a meal to be deemed 'homemade.' While most of the items in your list are impractical to create from scratch, it is important to differentiate between utilizing pre-made ingredients and simply heating a pre-packaged meal. For instance, if I were to share a photo of a microwavable burger accompanied by instant mashed potatoes and label it as homemade, I would anticipate disagreement. Consequently, my contention is that I do not consider the aforementioned meal to be truly 'homemade.'
