The only way anyone could eat food not made from scratch every day is if they had someone else cooking it for you

I haven't read the article and I'm probably not going to because OP seems like such a fucking faggot
But honestly, if you really wanted, you could just go to a restaurant every day

We don't eat made from scratch, homecooked meals because women don't stay at home and cook for everyone
I don't really think of this as a problem for anyone because like OP said you could just take up cooking yourself if you really needed homecooked meals

But again, you could just go to a restaurant and eat there

The problem with you nancys is that you expect full spread tables when thinking about home cooked.

Just cook for one, bachelor style. Simple stir fry and rice takes you no time. But again,

it just says cooking from scratch can be more expensive and that it takes more time than microwaving the cheapest frozen/canned foods, which is harder on some families, and it tries to offer some solutions. it doesn't say it's too hard and can't be done.

it would be nice if advancements in food production, like with lab-grown meat, eventually drive down the prices of everything so even cheap premade foods in stores would actually be healthy though.

I cook from scratch almost every day. Probably spend just over an hour in the kitchen per day doing it. Maybe an hour or two of shopping during the week to get ingredients. I don't think that's all that hard, but I'm also self-employed and have control over my schedule. The days when I go out to eat or grab something prepared are the days when I've been working someplace other than home and not getting back until late at night. Most of the time I'm home between 6-8PM, so that's when I cook. I'm aware this would be a lot tougher if I worked 50 or 60 hours a week, but I wouldn't want to work that much anyways.

Not everybody comes home, jerks off for 2.5 hours, and then makes a stirfry like you do

Exactly
If you don't have the time to cook you won't be eating homemade meals

you know you can drink, do drugs, play mine craft, watch interracial porn and cook at the same time right?

>If you don't have the time to cook
If it's important you make the time for it. But plenty of folks have other priorities. Regardless, it's still a choice.

I got permabanned from all boards for a post I made on /v/. I appealed it twice now, both times almost immediately denied, despite my honest explanation.

I'd be okay with just a ban on /v/ alone as I have totally given up on that place, but I still enjoy /ck/. So why I have to resort to using VPNs is beyond me, because the post itself was harmless. It was definitely off topic, but in an off topic thread - I described a sexual experience and relationship i had with a japanese girl I met in college. Nothing offensive about it. My suspicion is is that I deeply triggered some pathetic mod with my sex story that they just gave me the heaviest ban on the spot.

Honestly, Id like to find the janitor for /v/ and wring his neck. Not just for my own permaban, but for what they let happen to /v/. I have no doubt that he is a person worthy of a humiliating ordeal befelling him. But alas I can only pray for karma to work its way to him, without my help.

You don't have to use VPNs dingus. Switch your IP and use the container tab and on in firefox. You can be banned and back to posting in 30 seconds.

How about almost every day?
Excepting a sandwich I bought for lunch Wednesday and the storebought cereal with banana I had for breakfast Tuesday, everything I ate this week has been homemade.

For example, today's breakfast was a mixed berry smoothie.
For lunch, I had leftovers: cabbage stamppot, meatballs in gravy, sauteed spinach and butter braised carrots.
I'm about to eat an apple as a mid afternoon snack and when I get in front of the stove tonight, I'm gonna cook pasta with homemade tomato sauce.

Monday night, it took about an hour to make four servings of the meatballs, gravy and stamppot and 10 minutes to cook four servings each of the spinach and carrots. That's roughly 18 minutes cook time per meal if you divide it up by how many servings it made.

The tomato sauce and pasta will take about 15 minutes to make tonight.

Yesterday, it was kiwi and gooseberry yogurt (homemade yogurt and homemade gooseberry jam) for breakfast, rice and beans and a cucumber salad with homemade vinaigrette for lunch and spinach-and-onion omelette for dinner.

It's not difficult to imagine working people can cook meals from scratch.

Dog was run over and had to have its leg, snout, parts of its torso and most of its head amputated, including parts of its brain. It can no longer see, smell, hear, or eat through normal means and must be fed through a tube. The dumbass boomer family that owns it decided to make it suffer a few more years instead of just letting it die on the spot.
