    I think you need to address why cooking sucks for you.

    Do I? I just don’t like it, it’s boring. You tell me what’s so great about it instead.

    Do you know how to cook properly?

    I could cook some food that I very much enjoy if I want to. That’s not the problem. It’s just not worth the effort.

      I’m assuming you see food as sustenance and little more. Question, do you smoke or have you ever noticed/been told you don’t have much of a sense of smell?

      I’m not saying I don’t get food out - we do once a week usually. And sometimes I just can’t be arsed to cook so we have cheat meals (bowl of ramen, sanga, something on toast etc.) but it’s always a good feeling, both physically and mentally, to prepare a meal and eat it. Honestly, it’s the mental side that is most important in this. You can eat healthy out (assuming those making the food are using quality produce) but it’s a) going to cost a lot which is another mental drain b) doesn’t give you the dopamine hit of making something great yourself so it’s another mental drain.

        I mean yes. But I also absolutely love good food. Eating it though, not making it. My sense of taste/smell is not the issue.
