The current explanation is "a person who cannot cook and can't quite find the time to learn", but I interpreted this as someone who thinks they want to cook more, but ends up buying pre-made food often enough to cause the ingredients to go bad.  Such as buying a loaf of bread, deli meat and toppings, making a sandwich (or sudoing someone else), but then eating at restaurants until discovering the bread has gone bad...  I may be biased, though, since this is what usually happens to me.

The text also refers to the use of leftovers to create another meal which itself will create leftovers.  This is similar to the Hobo's Cigarette Butt Puzzle.
