It's part of the "I want it now!" crowd, and also due to paychecks not covering what they did 4 years ago.

Alas, an ever present group in our society. 

I am amazed at how it happens, but I’m just wired to not want to give up money.

My Mom was a good cook, my Dad however would only eat a rather small group of food items, certainly no pizza, no spaghetti, nothing remotely "ethnic".  If we dined out, it would be at some catfish place, S&S cafeteria.  or maybe a Sizzlin'.  I can dimly recall going out after church in Augusta to some "American" style place, it was all we had.

My mom wanted to cook more varied meals, but basically couldn't.  My dad was quite unpleasant when he didn't get his way.

Yeah, I just don't understand that mindset. Sorry that you didn't get to experience things until you were older. 

The biggest issue is that for so many people, it perpetuates. My wife's SIL grew up not eating vegetables. So guess what? She doesn't cook vegetables for her kids or regularly put them into the menu. 

Heck, my wife until she met me wasn't really a fan of any Asian food, despite living in SoCal where it's incredibly common and plentiful. I think her parents just weren't really into it, either eating out or cooking it at home. They were probably used to relatively basic American Chinese food, didn't really get into Thai or Vietnamese, etc. Through me she got exposed to a lot of new Asian cuisines, and various Asian dishes are now in the regular rotation in our menu cooking at home. 

If you're gonna get deep dish (actually pan), it has to come from one of these two places.

RIP Burt.

My Dad was born in north Georgia is a house with no electricity.  His early years were ones of poverty that he didn't escape until he left home and started working, and maybe not until he enlisted in the Army.  He had obviously a very limited view of what comprised food.

Fortunately, perhaps, I am very adventurous when it comes to food.  I like about all types, German being probably my least favorite type, but I've had some good food in Germany, just not great.

I just think the percentages of folks that want it now are higher
they also have more and easier options to get it now than before - credit cards and payday loans

I think there's just more stuff to want.  Mostly that's a good thing
