i love food so much man, i don’t understand how some people unintentionally skip meals or even have to force themselves to eat. like the exhaustive and dull nature of life under capitalism paired with a lack of meaningful interactions and pursuits make food the perfect legal escape and tbh the highlight of my days. it obviously got worse when i became a stoner, but now that i think about it even as a kid i’ve always loved me some carbs, like moreso than most people.

That’s the rant lol

    Also some people are just so bad at cooking. Like I understand it has a lot to do with poverty, shitty education, and old gender roles, but I once had a roommate who asked me how to cook a frozen pizza, then when I showed him he ate nothing but that for two months. What a grim life.

      poverty with a garden and hunter father is what taught me to cook

      i know this is not most people's experience with being poor. but that's one of the advantages to being poor in a rural state.

      wait you mean that he only ate frozen pizzas for two months or that he didn’t eat anything other than that one frozen pizza over the course of two months?

        Well more specifically he at a different frozen pizza for dinner probably 4 or 5 nights a week. My man was pretty athletic, which I guess is what allowed him to survive that diet. Later, he started eating pasta, so I guess someone showed him how to boil spaghetti.

          shouldn’t it be the other way around, like don’t dudes that are more athletic/muscly need to eat more?
