None of that is fast. That’s just frontloading effort for later. I don’t want to do it period. My time is a lot more precious than £3.50 or whatever they cost and once you add salt and spices they taste completely fine.
I hate cooking, and especially batch cooking so I can eat cold soulless slop chicken later to keep myself alive for 0.83 years longer and I hate meal planning and how much time and mental energy it takes, absolutely none is acceptable to me.
It kills my soul little by little and honestly I’m sure it’s fine for some people, but it drove me into the sads every time I tried, little by little, whereas not concerning myself with all that made me happy and made me thrive again. It’s just sustenance, it doesn’t matter much, no amount of motivation juices from nicotine or ADHD medication could make it less of a horrific waste of time ultimately.
So yeah I’m not doing that, the money saved is minimal because food costs next to nothing compared to housing etc. I could even order takeaway everyday and it wouldn’t substantially put me further away from house ownership than I am now.
Oh and I WFH too, I can’t imagine lugging slop in tupperware somewhere, but cooking even here means time and effort that could be spent better doing virtually anything else, and I love the fact I can toss the little fuckers into the microwave and not worry about it while they spin and consume ze slop and get back to what I was doing quickly without much disruption, I can do something while it’s cooking, before and while eating, and it doesn’t even create dirty dishes either.
So please don’t tell me what would be better for me, I know what’s best for me and I’ve already decided, or I wouldn’t buy them, would I? Who tf gives a shit about recycling, they should shoot down private jets if they wanna help the environment, and if not, the world can burn and at least the ultra-rich can burn with us and I’m okay with that.
You advocated for banning ready meals because you are crazy, I had to elaborate on it to hopefully get across that your viewpoint is insane and you should not hold it, nor should any sane person hold it.
I advocated for banning them because they’re polluting, unhealthy, and 500000 years of human history shows we don’t need them. That you insist we DO need them is probably false.
I’ll take your personal argument for why YOU use them - they’re easy and convenient - but it doesn’t justify their continued existence, any more than than the truth that “safely disposing of dangerous chemicals is expensive and inconvenient” justifies dumping them into lakes and rivers

Ok, all you needed to say was “i hate cooking”
