Interesting, my experience has been the exact opposite.
What specifically do you mean?
At what point did doing things for yourself become cringe?
Methinks this is what the collapse of civilization looks like.
And now, I feel seen.
I’m reading AGAINST THE MACHINE: the unmaking of humanity. It’s in this neighborhood. You might like it.
I prefer cooking meals over food delivery and I don’t think it’s fair to scoff at those who do the latter. Time constraints and exhaustion-from-a-9-to-5 and all that.
I decided to work on a cookbook not too long ago that specifically attempts to address this, one which is focused on spending as MINIMAL time on cooking as possible whilst being somewhat “affordable” and “easy to remember”, if that makes sense…
$40 for a cheap meal delivered to my door ready to eat … made by someone who doesn’t like their job, made with the cheapest ingredients, in a questionable kitchen, by a worker I trust follows proper hygiene, processed by a series of people who will take care of my food to be handed off to some guy who I trust will take care of my food as it travels to my house with everyone being paid as minimally as possible so that several companies can squeeze as much profit out of the transaction as possible.
Or I just take a few hours every weekend to make a ton of good food to eat for the entire week.
i envy people who are okay with eating the same thing all week long.
if i had it 2x before in the last 3 days; i don’t want to see i again for a few weeks/months.
Im broke okay? There is no choice.
It’s either time or money. If you have one but not the other, do what works, it’s fine, stop judging.
If you have neither though…
I love the openheartedness and tolerance implicit in the “stop judging” vibe, but what if we apply Kant’s Categorical Imperative to it. How does it hold up?
Millennial here. Definitely been cooking a lot more. The quality of fast food and most restaurants have gone down while the prices go up.
Millennial here, fuck DD. I love cooking.
