For the record, I'm not actually not obese or even overweight bmi wise (used to be very skinny now i'm some shade of skinnyfat). I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs, which is honestly more of a statement on how abysmal other people's diets and serving sizes have to be if i'm here at a normal bmi range with my fucked up diet history.

It's complicated. My parents are boomers so to them veggies are literally just mirepoix, broccoli, and corn end of list. Basically I was an extremely picky eater growing up and I only started getting into healthier eating in high school. But a few years later my seasonal allergies turned into Oral Allergy Syndrome. I suddenly was allergic to things I had always ate like apples, and it was pretty scary. I never had anaphylaxis but I have an epipen now because I get throat tightness. It's been about eight or so years since then and I'm much less anxious now so I'm trying foods again.

I only give a shit about tapeworms because I'm gay and I don't want to surprise then men I'm hooking up with...with a third unannounced guest. But really it just freaked me out, I didn't realize apparently cabbage commonly has tapeworms. Actually scratch everything I said, I'm a dumbass. I just looked it up and apparently the "tapeworm" that cabbages get is a completely different thing from the tapeworm parasite found in pork.

apparently cabbage has something called "tapeworm" but it's not the same as the human parasite.

thank you for a reasonable reply.

parasites transfer via dirt, but i was confused by the common name for tapeworm being used for a caterpillar that eats up cabbage.

veggies r healthy

and also for the record >>15770160 is not me.

I hate cooking. I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast, working, and eating fast food for lunch/dinner. It's unhealthy and unsustainable. I'm going to the grocery store in an hour to pick up food. What should I buy?


I'm cool with pasta and sheet pan cooking, but I would massively prefer something I don't have to prep beyond literal cooking. I love eating chicken but I hate cooking it for myself, I don't mind roasting veggies though. That sort of thing.
