Your celery leaves idea is pretty neat. I'm quite a fan of celery salt.
As for time, I think most Americans would prefer not to prep cook and cook for more than...30-40 minutes total. They're all about fast and convenience, in all aspects of society, not just food. I think majority processed foods are more or less geared towards saving time. Whether it's minute rice of kitchen appliances.
The entire diet and food culture is about the quickness. I want good food without taking the time to cook it. I want to be healthy and fit without putting the time in. That is also why there are so many dangerous and ineffective weight loss gimmicks. (Late night infomercials.)
