>>21090298Hmm, the Atlantic, a publication widely known for being (((sugar))) as fuck, shilling their food delivery slopWhat a surprise. I never saw this coming.
>>21090393too much fat
>>21090401but the copious amount of sodium is no problem to you?

>Sugar Not falling for it.
>>21090393I'm on keto so this dinner would contribute to my consistent weight loss. I do miss the vodka though.
>>21090406Yeah forgot about that
>>21090414Swarthmore college, majored in liberal arts, born in Brooklyn.I'm satisfied

BEHOLD, THE INEXORABLE TYRANNY OF COOKING DINNER!IS THIS YOU, DEAR READER?YOU COOK SOMETHING.YOU EAT IT.YOU HAVE TO DO THE DISHES.YOU ARE A SLAVE, I TELL YOU! A SLAVE TO YOUR HUNGER, YOUR STOVE, AND YOUR SINK.THE SOLUTION IS OBVIOUS: STOP COOKING, ONLY EAT OUT. STEAL PRE-COOKED FOODS AT EVERY POSSIBLE INTERVAL, EAT WHILE STANDING AND MOVING SO AS TO MINIMALIZE THE HOURS OF SERVITUDE TO THE INGRATEFUL STOMACH THAT HARANGUES YOU SO.TAKE BACK CONTROL! FREEDOM, DEAR READER. FREEDOM!
There's certainly such a thing as an easy weeknight meal. Doesn't even have to be that time consuming.>rachel sugarYeah of course some retarded journalist would think that anything other than ordering door dash is literally hell on earth
>>21090298What is so hard about cooking enough food in one night to last you a week?
>>21090298My mother never complained about cooking despite also working full time. And now that I do the cooking I see why. It’s fun and it really doesn’t take that much time despite how much you see other women moan about it. And I try making high effort stuff when I have the ingredients
Did any of you idiots even read the article? It's about how stuff like Doordash, prepared meal kids, and that Soylent drink don't really replace making dinner. >Most of us have two basic choices: You can make the necessary compromises [here she's talking about stuff like frozen pizza, dinner kids, prechopped onions, see full article] and accept something less than optimal, or you can surrender to a wholesome trap of your own making. She cooks her own dinner most of the time!>The notion that there is a permanent way out—a hack, a kit, a service that gives you all the benefits of dinner cooked from scratch without the labor—is an illusion.>>21090397>You could get takeout, but it’s notoriously expensive and frequently soggy, more a novelty than a regular occurrence. Delivery apps, at least, offer the promise of extreme convenience, except that they are even more expensive, and the food is often even soggier.She's not a fan of delivery apps, you fucking retardHere's a link to get around the paywall if you idiots want to read the article and actually know what you're seething abouthttp://12ft.io/https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2025/01/weeknight-dinner-never-easy/681210
>>21090866>Did any of you idiots even read the article?I'm here for cooking and food, not reading bullshit articles so no. Not reading your post either
>>21090875t. readlet
>>21090298read "weeknight" as "wee knight" and the sentence becomes about a midget.
>>21091314LOL include me in the r/4chan screencap
>>21090866i dont care about the contents of the article because any article that has an incendiary headline ALWAYS ends up being a worthless, hyper-rational cold take.
>>21090298>put protein in air fryer>come up with starch while it's in air fryer>get a persian cucumber and rinse it.wow that was hard
>>21090397Heh, first thing I did as well, looked at the name and figured it was Sugarstein or Sugarberg
>>21090298Imagine being so retarded.I made a salmon steak, a stir fry, and potato wedges for dinner. Low effort as fuck.
>>21090866>prechopped onions are a necessity for cooking dinnerlmao
>>21090298Dinner with my family is perfectly fine.Because we're good parents with properly raised children. Not children that were institutionalized all day without moving in a chair like cattle. They ran around a lot and are tired and calm at night.As a child should be.
>>21090415Vodka is keto, it doesn't have any carbs, it's a clear alcohol.All the calories are from the ethanol.
>>21090298Here's how either me or my wife cook for everyone at night:>get our biggest stainless steel pan>heat it, butter it>throw vegetables in it>a few minutes later, throw meat into it>move around for 2-10 minutes depending on the meatAnd voilà. You have a nutritious meal for the whole family. Plain yogurt or cheese as a dessert.It's easy.
>>21090298Sugar?
>>21092284Sounds like they'll make good ditch diggers. thanks for your contribution!
>>21090866>“You could eat a full bag of Doritos,” Margot Finn, a food-studies scholar at the University of Michigan, told meis this a scholarly thing to do?
>>21092484if you make a dozen words past your quote it turns out they don't actually recommend eating doritos for dinner
>>21092284Cattle don't typically sit in chairs. >>21092285I think she's gotten keto and paleo confuzzled in her tiny female brain. >>21092296We eat something one of us cooked every night but it's not always fresh. Y'know. Because leftovers exist. Tonight was spaghetti with zucchine custard, a little-known Neapolitan dish I shill on here pretty often. The pasta was freshly boiled but the custard itself was leftover from a few days ago. There's also halfway between fresh and leftover like when the missus makes chicken fried roti, though it's usually a Saturday lunch thing. She takes leftover roti from the night before and chops it up then does a basic East Asian style stir fry and adds the roti in place of rice or noodle in fried rice or fried noodle dishes.
>>21092307What is he, the ultimate badass?
>hating cookingI breath this shit
not reading your pointless low effort shit rachel. throw it on the internet landfill with the rest.
>>21090632you didn't have to deep fry it like that, bro
>>21092543>chicken fried roti>She takes leftover roti from the night before and chops it up then does a basic East Asian style stir fry and adds the roti in place of rice or noodle in fried rice or fried noodle dishes.How is that "chicken-fried"? chicken fried =/= stir fried
The problem is people equate a meal with having lots of different thingsMaking a meal out of one ingredient items is not only easy but it's impossible to overeat this wayVariety is a lie
>>21090613This but more ironically.
>>21090406sodium is nbd. Eat too much salt, and you just drink an extra cup of water that day, problem solved.
>>21090406>>21094801Except if you're fat.Too much sodium is an issue if you're fat because it sticks to the excess fat in your blood stream and can clot things, but if you're not a fat subhuman you can eat too much sodium and it's not an issue whatsoever, you'll just piss it out.
>get home>Already know what I'm gonna make (plan my meals on Sunday, I have like 10-15 ones I always like)>Turn on some music or youtube slop>Cook a nice meal, clean as I go>30 mins later have food and a clean kitchen>Eat the foodThis is suffering for people? I think back to my college days when I had no kitchen and shudder in misery.
>>21094961Modern people are incredibly lazy and weak, and the knowledge that ordering food instead of cooking it is just a few phone taps away is torture to them.
>>21090498ive been waiting 5 years since Covid for someone to post this meme againthank you anon
