Depends on what you qualify as "cooking" I think, as well. I almost never ate out in AZ due to budget constraints. Got beans? Got rice? Got chilies? Can you boil these things? BAM. Even though the beans were usually, in fact, from a can. I dunno, I think if you didn't grow up with home cooking you kind of have to work your way up from putting processed food together to using more raw and unprocessed ingredients, and if you threw together a meal that happened to include boxed mac and cheese and something from a can I would personally count that as cooking.
