If I buy food in the US it's invariably been prepared by the owner of
the premises, and the hotel rooms don't have measuring jugs anyway.

You forgot to mention that this food you buy in the hotel restaurant
doesn't come in packets, either.

Oh I eat places other than hotel restaurants, things like take away
pizzas and hamburgers come in packets.

If you are venturing out to takeaways, I'm surprised you never get as
far as a supermarket. But perhaps you lack a kitchen?
