You mean the ones who can't cook, or the ones who cook badly?

Non-cooks eat out a lot or buy prepackaged shit like frozen dinners, yogurt, and lots of fiber supplements.

Bad cooks basically make the same abominations as younger bad cooks, but either with a marked lack of seasoning (boiled meat, vegetables) or way too much salt. They also use a lot of fiber supplements.

Old people who are good cooks could be eating anything, really. They tend to die too soon. They also take a lot of fiber supplements.

I'll never understand why people do this. Scrambled eggs are one of the easiest things you can possibly do and in a short amount of time in a pan.

How is shortbread old people food?

Shortbread is typically high-calorie & low-flavor.

That could also easily describe most depression-era foods, which is what a lot of old people are familiar with.
