Among member countries (see below), Americans spend the least amount of time per day cooking and cleaning up (30 minutes on average), and the third lowest amount of time eating (74 minutes). The OECD average is 50 and 101, respectively. Give it up for the Turks, who average 74 minutes of cooking per day.
The American rate of participation itself--how many people cook, period--is also low. This category led to some interesting stats. For example, less than half of adults in India cook, but those who do spend almost three hours in the kitchen per day. A large majority of the population in Denmark and Norway cook, but only for about an hour per day. I assume these differences have a lot to do with traditional household structures (or lack thereof).
In other news, the French and Germans shop a lot, the Swiss live long, the Dutch trust people, and Icelanders have the highest rate of positive experiences (feeling well-rested, being treated with respect, smiling, experiencing enjoyment, etc.).
