    Yeah, agree that this is not very accurate.

    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.
