Skewered in the dark

Is it weird that I am fascinated by the cooking habits of other people my age? I often assume that the majority of student-age young professionals and the like are nothing but take-out ordering, junk food eating, Bud Light guzzling money burners. I think that this image haunts me often, because it's probably true for the most part. But when I see said demographic grilling on a cool autumn night with shish kebab en masse--I am impressed.
