… Autistic people eat only fried garbage? That doesn’t seem exclusively neurodivergent to be honest. I know some have that thing about food textures, but…
Don’t get me wrong, pizza is great, fried chicken is great… but I’m an autist and I’m the opposite of a picky eater, and if I want quick/no prep food, I will snack on carrots, have a salad, eat some greek yogurt, apples or grapes or pickles or something, maybe trail mix.
This is more a ‘I eat out of a microwave because I have no time or money or stress/planning capacity to meal plan and cook’ kind of thing.
If I want something like pasta, I’ll boil the noodles and fry up some jimmy dean sausage, toss the marinara into frying pan for the last few minutes, then grate a block of mozzerella over it.
Sure, I could just microwave some canned chef boyardee in 5 minutes… but it really only takes like 30 minutes to do it a bit more intensively, and it tastes waaaay better.
It’s more the fact these processed foodstuffs are absolutely held to the same flavour and manufacturing over and over and over. It’s routine in food form
Untrue. I like certain fried garbage as comfort food when I need something to stabilize myself back to my routines, but that doesn’t mean I only eat that. I keep a varied diet with tons of veggies (those with a texture/taste I can stand, and most of them raw, I prefer their taste over the cooked ones) and I try to keep my animal consumption to a minimum.
However… That plate has a lot of interesting textures to eat (but it’s missing the mayo to dip them all, I can’t stand fried garbage without a bit of mayo).
Also, the pizza is wrong. That kind of whatever topping it has is probably going to overwrite the rest of the flavours of the pizza.

Yeah, agree that this is not very accurate.

Where are my dunkaroos, and broccoli?

… pepperoni? Or are you talking about the slightly overcooked cheese?
I couldn’t agree more. I love veggies
Yeah, like what? I know my veggies.
