I think the dead giveaway is that he actually thinks it's faster to cook for yourself. It's a ton of hard work and way more effort and when you combine going to to store, buying your items, cooking them, and then cleaning up after there is no loving way you would think it's faster unless you had never actually done any of that poo poo yourself. It is cheaper, and it can taste better if you know what you're doing.

It's faster to eat at home because you have to go drive and wait for every meal when you eat out. If you cook at home and stock your fridge and freezer with prepared foods, the time spent per week fetching, preparing, and eating food can be much lower. In any case, the time it takes to cook can usually be occupied by other things, unlike going to get food which requires conscious effort the entire time. Logic fail much? :smug:

It's really great when you can go to a place like whole foods and get some badass fast food that is healthy. If I was rich that's all I'd eat.

burrito bars, wraps, salads, sushi, etc

Why the gently caress would you eat fast food when you can make delicious home made food easily? It's cheaper, healthier, and because you don't have to queue, it's even faster.

Making food is not easy or fast.

Yeh ive got to agree the cooking part itself is not hard but learning how to cook enough things to not have any repeats for a week or whatever you want and then keeping all the ingredients stocked is where it gets difficult and the ease of fast food by comparison starts to look goos

for loving real, it's not a goddamn painting. you just follow the instructions and you're good. if you do it enough, you can do it on your own too and improvise. but if you're a loving ramen scrub, you should still be able to cook delicious meals for yourself and others. especially with the internet, every new recipe I try have 10,000 recipes for it and youtube videos of motherfuckers actually cooking it. monkey see, monkey do you cooktards

I gave up eating fast food for lent. Not religious, but i thought it would be a good challenge. Lent ended two weeks ago and I still haven't been back. I've also lost 10 pounds in that time frame. Cutting it out of my life wasn't that hard and now that it's gone I'm feeling a lot better.

no can do. final exams are right around the corner, and then (after 28 horrible months) i am moving out (hopefully forever) and starting my aforementioned high-paying, high-stress summer job.

on topic: i tried one of those new taco bell breakfast biscuit tacos. i was not impressed.

There's a deli near me that does like fast-food salads. You tell the guy what you want in it and they make it right there. And it's only like 6.75 and comes with a roll. I eat that everyday for lunch pretty much.
