People just dont know how to cook. Its an unpopular take these days but with the cost of living I cant help but look at how some of the people I know eat and think "Y'all could use some fucking austerity". Everything is pre-made, pre-prepped, and sometimes pre-cooked.
Forget simple and nutritious. I can make you the filthiest nastiest food coma inducing double bacon cheeseburger in about the time it takes most people to make it to and through the drivethrough, and probably for less than you would spend on fuel. The less said about how much better my fried chicken is the better.
A lot of people don't have the time or the energy to cook because they are being ground down by their shitty jobs. It's no wonder so many people turn to processed food even if they don't eat fast food.
Oh I know, for some people it isnt a choice. Thats why I prefaced it with "Some people I know." because I know their circumstances.
One specific coworker in particular. If you're stressing about your car payment, you dont have money for doordash. GO PICK IT UP YOU LAZY BASTARD THATS WHAT THE CAR IS FOR!
