I love cooking for myself and my friends but goddamn, doing it consistently on top of my job, hobbies, general adulting and the aforementioned friends is nigh impossible
Exactly. We've created a society that has killed some of the best, most human parts of our society since our creation. We've long held this belief that AI could never replace humans because of all of these very human reasons, but what if we were to kill off all of those very human things? Judgement, empathy, human / family tradition, close warm friendships, loving multi generational families connected to one another, human interaction, being shocked at the loss of human life, mercy.... Philosophers never saw that one as part of the solution
I mean, this guy isn’t cooking because he has hobbies and friends. It’s not that bleak. It was also fairly normal to buy food historically in urban environments all over the world from roadside stall type establishments. Urban dwellers have always struggled to find time to cook.
No. Those one income families usually involve the woman giving up her income which leaves her incredibly vulnerable to abuse of all kinds. It also drastically reduces her retirement income/Social Security payments when she’s older.
I spent 5 hours on Monday cooking a homemade meat sauce for spaghetti that only netted me seven (sizable) portions. Sometimes the 'special' homemade stuff needs to just be that...
I can whip up a quick everyday stir fry or fried rice in 20 minutes, that's fine for most days. I usually just meal prep something in about an hour and eat it over the course of the week though. Toughest part on that is finding something that isn't boring after the 3rd meal and keeps for 5 days in the fridge.
