But if you measure work in the community as a total number, why does it
matter where it is put in?

One reason for looking at this is that we  have people want to expend their
major work effort in the kitchen. They love to cook for large groups. Other
people don't get home in time to do many other things and want their
weekends free for trips. They are happy to clean up.

Maybe there will come a time when the kitchen tasks seem overwhelming and
larger than other tasks but at the moment that doesn't seem like it will be
the case.
