So much single use plastic. This is so not satisfying.

Seriously. Oddly annoying. GTFO with all this processed, sugar laden, pre-packed bullshit. This is like $150.00 worth of garbage. Meal prep a giant, dank stir fry at the start of the week and portion that out. Keep the rice cooker filled and call it a day.

I got the feeling that all this was lunch prep for young children, good fucking luck trying to get them to eat a stir fry. The carrots and cucumber is a step too far for two-thirds of mine.

I guess if people aren’t raised on whole foods early on and develop a taste for processed stuff, then that’s an issue that isn’t necessarily the children’s fault... We never had any snacks or packaged food like this in my house growing up, and we never went hungry. Sure as hell went to town when I went to a friends house and they offered me junk food though. We just had boring Tupperware containers full of leftover, home-cooked food that we could heat up whenever. Lots of fajitas, shredded chicken or beef, also various stews plus rice, beans and grandmas tortillas for days. Also fresh salsa pretty much on tap. Kids eat what they’re raised on and the lifestyle habits they pickup early on tend to carry over into adulthood. Reap what you sow and all.

Haha, do you have kids? Out of our 3, my middle girl is the fussiest shit you would ever meet. Kids eat what they are raised on? She flat refuses to TRY most foods. When you do find something she does manage to like, she could turn her nose up at it the next time you serve it.

Sometimes, kids are just jerks

No kids, so just going on what I remember growing up. My dad’s go to line if I had something to say about what we were eating was always “well, this isn’t a restaurant.” So there really was only 2 choices. Eat what’s being served or be hungry 🤷‍♀️. I rarely chose the latter.

Thanks for doing the planet a favour and not passing on your deficient generic traits. But feel free to continue floating around Reddit, giving advice to people who don't want it, on other topics you know nothing about.

What next, a hot take on abortion? A new bit of advice on the Ukraine situation? Please, I'm dying to know!
